A witness making a delivery in the shopping center on Roosevelt Drive early Friday morning told police he saw a man dressed in black, holding several items in his hands, running from the Dunkin’ Donuts.
Officers responding to the call at 1:47 a.m. also received a complaint from the alarm company reporting an activation.
Police said the drive-thru window was smashed and shards of glass were on the ground. The burglar made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The incident is under investigation.
Slumped over the wheel
A New Haven man was charged with DUI Saturday morning after police responding to the report of an erratic driver on Route 34 (Roosevelt Drive) found him parked in The Waterview driveway, sleeping, slumped over the wheel with the headlights on and the engine running, according to the report.
Geoffrey Jacobs, 45, of Ley Street, was charged with operating under the influence and released on $500 bond for a Jan. 6 court date.
At 1:28 a.m., officers responded to the report of a blue Subaru Outback that was “all over the road” and nearly struck a truck head on, before pulling into the driveway at 215 Roosevelt Drive.
Officers rapped on the window of the Subaru to wake the driver, Jacobs, and police said his eyes were extremely bloodshot and glassy, his speech was slurred, he had the odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath, his slow responses to questions did not make sense and field sobriety tests were not performed to standard.
Mustang engulfed in flames
Police officers and Stevenson firefighters responding to a car fire between the 1300 and 1400 block of Monroe Turnpike Sunday afternoon, arrived to see a black, Ford GT Mustang engulfed in flames.
Police said the driver was outside the car and firefighters quickly extinguished the fire. Firefighters traced the fire’s origin to mice living in the engine bay of the vehicle, which they say was not driven often.
Kelli Groballi, 49, of Shelton, told police he was driving north on Route 111 when he smelled burning plastic, shut the engine down and coasted to a driveway at 1386 Monroe Turnpike, according to the report.
After he got out of the car, police said it went up in flames.
The incident occurred around 1:30 p.m.
A stolen tractor hitch

Police said nothing else appeared to be missing.
