New Milford Police Warn of Car Break-ins

NEW MILFORD, CT -- Add New Milford to the list of area municipalities experiencing a rash of car burglaries.

On Saturday, officers from the New Milford Police Department responded to the areas of Jotham Road, Crest Lane, Ridge Crest Drive and Meadowwood Drive for reports of vehicles being broken into.

The New Milford thefts are the latest in a widening pattern of overnight vehicle break-ins. Last week, an unlocked Porsche was stolen and two other vehicles burglarized in Wilton. Weston Police are investigating thefts from two motor vehicles reported July 2. Two cars were stolen last month in Newtown after their owners left the keys inside the vehicles.

Police throughout southwest Connecticut are urging residents to lock their vehicles and remove valuable items.
