Man Accused Of Stealing Motorcycle Arrested: Darien Police

DARIEN, CT — A 36-year-old man was arrested on Dec. 6 in connection with the May theft of a motorcycle from a locked garage in Darien, according to police.

Marcos Perez, a New York City resident, turned himself in last week on an arrest warrant that charges him with third-degree burglary, second-degree criminal mischief, larceny of a motor vehicle, conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary, and conspiracy to commit larceny of a motor vehicle, police said.

On May 19, 2024, officers responded to a home on Maple Street for a reported burglary of a motorcycle from a locked garage.

The victim had listed the motorcycle for sale on Facebook Marketplace the day before the theft, and police believe that allowed Perez to locate the victim’s address through multiple Google searches.

Surveillance footage showed Perez and an accomplice entering the property at approximately 2:22 a.m., cutting cable wires to disable security cameras, and forcing entry into the garage, police said.

Search warrants served on Google found that Perez conducted several searches for the victim’s address, police said.

Investigators later linked Perez to a similar motorcycle theft in New Jersey in October 2023, according to police.

Perez was able to post a court-set bond of $100,000. He's scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Dec. 27.
