PD: $40k in Jewelry Stolen from Darien Home

About $40,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from a Green Leaf Avenue in a reported burglary, police said.

Residents left to go to the store around 4 p.m. on Sept. 19 and said they returned 20 min later. They returned to find two teenage males running toward Christie Hill Road. The house had been left unlocked and the garage door open.

The residents checked the house and noticed that jewelry was missing from a compartment in a desk. Among the missing items were rings, earrings, pendants and necklaces.

The female resident said she is unsure the last time she checked the jewelry, but did take a ring out about a week before the incident.

Police canvassed the area and didn’t find the teenagers and neighbors didn’t report anything unusual.

The investigation continues.
