Man Charged With Having Burglary Tools; 2 Still At Large: Police

GREENWICH, CT — A 26-year-old man has been charged, and two other men remain at large after police responded to a report of a burglary in the Pemberwick section of Greenwich on Wednesday night.

Estevens Carvajal-Mendez, 26, was arrested Wednesday and charged with possession of burglary tools and resisting arrest, according to an arrest report. He was unable to post a $250,000 bond, and remains in custody, the arrest report said.

Lt. Martin O'Reilly of the Greenwich Police Department said Carvajal-Mendez would not tell officers where he lives. The Greenwich Time reported that Carvajal-Mendez is from New Jersey.

Carvajal-Mendez is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 15, according to his arrest report.

At approximately 6:10 p.m. on Wednesday, the GPD received a call about a burglary in the area of Weaver Street and East Lyon Farm Drive in Pemberwick, police said.

Officers found three males who tried to flee the scene on foot, police said. Carvajal-Mendez was apprehended immediately, police said, and the others fled south on Weaver Street.

Officers established a perimeter to prevent the two men from leaving the area, police said, and help was requested from the Stamford Police Department and Port Chester Police Department K-9 Units. The Westchester County Police Aviation Unit assisted with a helicopter.

Residents were advised to stay indoors, although police said there was no danger to the public.

The search ended around 9:10 p.m. after officers deemed that the two men were no longer in the area. O'Reilly said the men were wearing dark colored clothing — no other information has been released.

Anyone with information about the incident on Wednesday night is asked to call the GPD at 203-622-8004 (24 hour line), or the department's confidential tip line at 203-622-3333, or email at TIPS@greenwichct.org.
