Darien Police acted quickly Tuesday afternoon, and stopped what they believe to be a burglary attempt just before the suspects were able to flee town. Ardian Ademi, 18, of Stamford and a second juvenile offender face charges for their possible involvement in an incident on Hillcrest Avenue.
At about 2 p.m. Tuesday, police received a report that a young male was seen running down Hillcrest Avenue near Middlesex Road and entered a red Volkwagen Jetta, which then drove away quickly. Officers in the area spotted a vehicle that matched the description on Middlesex, and stopped it just before the Stamford border. Along with Ademi and the other suspect, they found a laptop, a jewelry box, and "what appeared to be proceeds from a burglary on the front right floor of the vehicle," according to a press release issued from the Darien Police.
A Hillcrest Avenue resident later caught the attention of canvassing officers in the area, telling them that she had been robbed. Police then arrested the two suspects and charged them with third-degree burglary, third-degree conspiracy to commit burglary, larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny. Both are still in police custody.
Investigators are still looking into the incident. Anyone with information should contact the Darien Police at (203) 662-5300.
