$27k in New Appliances Stolen from Darien Home

DARIEN, CT—Police are investigating two burglaries that occurred at homes under construction.

A Stephanie Lane residence was burglarized sometime on July 26 or 27, police said.

A vehicle apparently pulled up to the backyard and several large appliances were taken out of the kitchen area.

Items stolen include:

• Two Sub Zero refrigerators each valued at nearly $8,000.
• Marvel beer keg fridge: $1,900.
• Two Marvel wine fridges: $1,400.
• Pullout drawer fridge: $2,000.
• Bosch dishwasher: $1,300.
• Bosch microwave: $1,155.
• Two kitchen faucets: $714 and $1,600.
• Installation kit: $239.

A water line to the fridge was already hooked up, which caused a large amount of water to leak onto the floor. Police noted that the contractor was already in the process of ripping up the new floor.

Another home on Greenleaf Avenue was burglarized as well sometime between July 23 and 25.

About $1,500 in paint was stolen along with two step ladders, a compound bazooka and various tools. $500 worth of copper was stolen in May, but initially wasn't reported to police.
