MONROE, CT — A residential burglary was reported on May Court on Feb. 16.
The victim told police everything was in order and all the doors were closed and locked when he left his house the night before. But when he arrived home just before 9 p.m. on Feb. 16, he said multiple doors were open and items were missing.
Contents from bedroom closets upstairs were strewn about and cash, jewelry and handbags were stolen, according to the report.
Police said the victim realized the window of the exterior kitchen door leading to the deck in the backyard had been broken to gain entry.
Officers canvassed the neighborhood and detectives processed the scene for evidence. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Monroe Police Detective Division at 203-452-2831.
Arrest in stolen check case
A 19-year-old Bridgeport woman turned herself in on a warrant Wednesday, stemming from an incident in December, when an Elm Street resident reported mail stolen from her mailbox.
Police said the amount of a $296 check made out to Eversource had been altered to $956 and the recipient was changed to Chloe Tomasa Sanchez.
The M&T Bank check was stolen sometime around Dec. 2 and the complaint was made on Dec. 26, police said.
Police said officers contacted Sanchez, who was not cooperative. An officer later called back and, after a brief discussion, the call was terminated, according to the report.
Detectives investigated the case and applied for an arrest warrant, which was signed. Sanchez was charged with second-degree larceny and second-degree forgery, then released on $5,000 bond for a Feb. 28 court date.
She also has pending charges from other law enforcement agencies, including carrying a dangerous weapon and possession of a controlled substance first offense brought by Connecticut State Police Troop G; attempt to commit fifth-degree larceny from Troop A; and third-degree larceny from Troop A.
A good example
A Meadows End Road resident told police an email from Experian showed a new loan inquiry on her credit report, according to a complaint filed Wednesday.
Prior to going to police, she had already contacted Experian and learned someone from Illinois tried to open a bank account using her information.
“This is an example of someone doing everything right,” Monroe Police Lt. Kevin McKellick said Friday. “She’s not out of any money, she notified her bank, flagged all of her accounts made sure there was no financial loss.”
