Police Investigate Burglary of 2 Greenwich Homes

Two homes were burglarized over the weekend, including one in central Greenwich where the residents were awakened by the sound of breaking glass, according to police.

A Saw Mill Lane home was ransacked sometime Saturday after burglars broke through a wooden back door of the home, according to police spokesman Lt. Kraig Gray. The burglars were unsuccessful in trying to break in through a second-floor balcony door, Gray said.

The owners were away and discovered their home had been ransacked when they returned on Sunday. Detectives were at the scene on Monday and compiling a list of items taken from the residence.

It was about 5:20 a.m. Sunday when residents of a West Brother Drive home in the private Milbrook neighborhood in central Greenwich were awakened by the sound of glass breaking, according to Gray.

When the residents called out, they heard a voice but whoever entered the home escaped as the residents dialed 9-1-1. “The subject was gone when police arrived moments later,” Gray said. Nothing was reported missing from the home.
