Car Break-Ins in Middlefield Under Investigation

Troopers from the Middlefield Resident State Trooper’s Office and Troop F-Westbrook are currently investigating several motor vehicle break-ins, that occurred in the Lake Beseck area of Middlefield, during the overnight hours between October 20, 2015, and October 21, 2015.

On Oct. 21, at approximately 5:20 p.m., Troop F received a call reporting a larceny from a motor vehicle. The victim reported that he noticed his wallet had been taken from his motor vehicle after he received information that a credit card in his name had been used at a local store.

Through the course of the investigation, troopers determined that the victim’s stolen credit card was used on Oct. 21 at approximately 2:45 a.m. at a retail store in Wallingford.

Troopers were able to obtain surveillance footage of two suspects, and a suspect vehicle. Both suspects are described as white, or light-skinned males.
