NORTH HAVEN, CT — A man accused of breaking into a North Haven home late Tuesday night was found hiding in the woods by K-9 Taro, according to police.

Two women called 911 around 11:30 p.m. to report a man broke into their home on Centerbrook Road. Both women told police they heard a loud noise and then saw a man standing in their living room. They locked themselves in a bedroom and called police.
