Darien Burglary Suspects Arrested In New Canaan On Similar Charges: Cops

NEW CANAAN, CT — A pair of Norwalk men, already facing charges in connection with a Darien burglary, have been arrested by New Canaan police in connection with an August break-in on Smith Ridge Road where $1,800 worth of jewelry was stolen.

Siuni Bonilla, 35, of Ely Avenue, was arrested on Sept. 5 and charged with third-degree larceny and third-degree burglary, among other related charges, in connection with the daytime burglary on Aug. 15, according to New Canaan police.

Bonilla and Marlo Aguirre, 29, of Testa Place, were apprehended by Norwalk police on Aug. 17 in connection with the Darien break-in on McCrea Lane that same day. The homeowner got the license plate of the van the two were in and gave it to Darien police who radioed it out to other departments. Norwalk police spotted the van a short while later in East Norwalk and caught them.

"Located inside of the suspect vehicle was a distinct piece of jewelry stolen from the burglary that occurred in New Canaan on 08/15/17," wrote New Canaan police in a statement, adding that while being interviewed, the two "confessed to the burglary in New Canaan on 08/15/17."

Warrants were obtained for both suspects, and as mentioned earlier, Bonilla was arrested on the 5th, and Aguirre was arrested on Monday, Sept. 25. The two are scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court next month.
