Over the course of just two days, burglars took valuables from seven unlocked parked cars around town. The Darien Police said in a press release Monday that more than $2,000 worth of valuables were stolen in the early morning hours of April 26 and throughout the day April 29.
In all seven incidents, the owners left their cars unlocked and parked in their driveways. Only three residents reported anything stolen, but all seven found clear signs of a break-in. Police do not have any suspects yet.
The first three attempts occured early on April 26. Two Fitch Avenue residents reported break-ins to the Police that morning, and a man on Relihan Road called in a theft from the same night two days later. One of the Fitch Avenue residents and the Relihan Road man both said GPS systems, valued at $250-$300 each, were missing. There were no valuables left overnight in the second Fitch Avenue car, so the burglars did not take anything.
Four more break-ins happened between the end of the day April 28 and the late afternoon the next day. In incidents on Old Kings Highway South, Clock Avenue and Long Neck Point Road, the suspects opened glove boxes and center consoles, but did not take anything. But in an early morning break-in on Garden City Road, the family reported that the suspects took a pair of $199 Burberry sunglasses, a $150 Bluetooth earpiece, a $600 Tory Birch purse, an iPod Touch, a pink wallet containing $120 cash, and a $350 black leather designer wallet containing $95 cash, various credit cards and gift cards.
Police said someone made charges on the stolen cards for $530 at Best Buy and two MTA train tickets, totaling $60. A Department of Public Works employee found the purse and both wallets, all empty, on Goodwives River Road near Old Kings Highway South.
