Kylo Simons, of Hartford, was arrested at 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday, March 23, according to Connecticut State Police.

Police said Simons was charged with:

  • Second-degree larceny
  • Criminal impersonation
  • Third-degree burglary 

State police said Simons was involved in a bail scam where a caller posed as the New Fairfield couple's grandson and said he was in jail.

The caller then told the couple not to tell other family members, and a scammer posing as the couple's grandson's attorney demanded money for the grandson's release, authorities said.

Police said Simons came to the couple's home to collect the money.
