Man Charged In South Windsor ATV, Dirt Bike Theft Attempt

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — A Massachusetts man has been arrested in connection with an attempted South Windsor burglary and theft case that dates back to 2022.

Police said the case involved an effort to steal a four-wheeler and dirt bike from a shed on Main Street.

Roger J. Czupryna, 25, of East Longmeadow, was arrested Wednesday, April 1, on an active warrant, according to South Windsor police. He was charged with conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary, possession of burglar tools, third-degree criminal mischief, conspiracy to commit larceny of a motor vehicle, sixth-degree larceny, and second-degree failure to appear.

Police said the charges stem from a November 2022 call to a Main Street address for a reported attempted shed burglary. The homeowner was alerted by security cameras that captured the attempted theft.

Officers who got to the scene interrupted the attempt, police said. Investigators said the suspects, believed to be three people, ran into the woods and left behind physical evidence, including items found in a vehicle left near the scene.

Police said that evidence later helped identify Czupryna as a suspect. Investigators then applied for an arrest warrant.

According to police, Czupryna turned himself in at headquarters. He was processed and released on a $5,000 non-surety bond for the burglary and larceny-related charges, along with a separate $2,500 non-surety bond tied to the failure to appear warrant.

He is scheduled to appear in Manchester Superior Court on April 15, 2026, for the burglary and larceny case.
