Another Attempted Home Burglary Stopped by Milford Resident

MILFORD, CT — A Cornflower Drive resident reported an attempted break-in on Wednesday, according to a post on social media, which was confirmed by Milford Police Thursday morning. And once again, the pattern sounds familiar.

According to the resident's account, a man knocked on the front door of a neighbor's house and he did not answer. Then the suspect went around back and threw a brick through his back window/door, the resident said.

"Homeowner startled burglar before he came in the house and he ran off. Please stay on the look out. It is happening closer and closer to home." Milford Local, a popular local Facebook page, shared the resident's account, and police confirmed the details.

Since December there have been more than three dozen similar home burglaries in Milford. The only description Milford Police have released concerning the suspects is that "most burglaries occur between 4 and 8 p.m. Jewelry, lock boxes and other items that can easily be carried are being targeted and taken from bedrooms."

"An older model gray sedan was seen near one of the incidents," police said in a statement earlier in February. "A light colored minivan was seen at another. Witnesses reported seeing a male described as white, in his 30s with facial hair, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, jeans and gloves at one incident."

If you have any idea who is behind these burglaries please call Milford Police.
