Rajiv Holness, age, 23, of Bridgeport, was nabbed by Bridgeport Police on Monday, Oct. 17 following a months-long investigation.

Over the past several months, the Bridgeport North End homes, specifically Sacred Heart University off-campus rental properties, were plagued with a rash of residential burglaries, said Det. Albert Palatiello, of the Bridgeport Police.

Officers identified Holness as the suspect using video footage obtained at the scenes. Holness later confessed to committing the burglaries when interviewed, Palatiello said. 

Holness was charged with:

  • Burglary, first-degree
  • Six counts of burglary, third-degree
  • Seven counts of criminal mischief

His bonds total $150,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, Oct. 18.
