Inclusion in these reports does not indicate a conviction.

June 4, 2012

Taylor Kroeber, 25, of 3 Beth Ann Court in Wallingford was served an arrest warrant for illegal use of a credit card and larceny in the fifth degree. He was released on a $1000 bond and scheduled to appear in Meriden Court on 6/19/12.   

According to the Haddam Resident Troopers’ Office, the arrest stems from a January incident where the victim, who lives in Higganum, contacted Kroeber through Craigslist for firewood. The accused delivered the firewood to the victim’s residence and was later found to be using her credit card all over the Meriden, Wallingford and Berlin area without her knowledge.   

Tfc Enrico Milardo would like to remind those who use craigslist to practice caution when using the online services like Craisglist and others like it.
