WILLINGTON, CT — A Willington man is accused of taking a vehicle and other items from a local home a day after "escaping" from a halfway house, state police said.

The case dates back to Aug. 21, when a resident complained that several thousand dollars worth of tools and equipment were missing from a home, along with a vehicle, according to a warrant.

State police said in a warrant they then pinpointed Prince as a suspect.
