DARIEN, CT — A total of nine vehicles were burglarized in Darien on Dec. 14 and 15, and in each case the vehicles had been left unlocked, according to Darien police.

And finally in the same driveway on Chestnut Street, a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe, a 2012 Lincoln Navigator and a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee were all broken into, but only about $10 was taken from the Jeep, according to Darien police.
