Car break-ins have become more prevalent in recent months. Police warned residents in December of recent upticks in vehicle and home burglaries. In August, police in Ridgefield, Redding and Brookfield warned residents about several smash and grab incidents in their towns.

Police say additional arrests are anticipated in the case.
