The incidents took place early in the morning on Thursday, Sept. 9, in New Haven County and included the towns of Guilford, Madison, and Branford.
According to the Guilford Police, items stolen during the break-ins included credit cards, small electronics, wallets, purses, and checkbooks, were stolen from the homes.
The suspects also stole vehicles from several homes.
One Guilford home was invaded at 6 a.m. Thursday, according to police, while the owners were home.
Police said the thieves were in and out of the homes within minutes.
Shortly after the car thefts, the suspects traveled to Naugatuck where they went on a spending spree with the stolen credit cards of multiple victims and ultimately ditched two of three stolen cars in Waterbury, police said.
Waterbury Police helped track the cars and were able to get a picture of one of the suspects.
Police said the best defense against this type of crime is to make sure that not only is your vehicle locked, but your home is secure as well.
The investigation is ongoing. Residents are asked to call 911 if they see anything suspicious.
