Windsor Man Charged With Burglarizing 50 Cent's Mansion

FARMINGTON, CT — A Farmington mansion belonging to rapper 50 Cent was burglarized Tuesday, and a suspect has been placed under arrest.

Farmington police were dispatched to the 50,000 square foot mansion at 50 Poplar Hill Drive at 12:21 p.m. for the report of a burglary in progress. On-site security was alerted to an entry alarm, and upon investigation, an unknown person was seen on the property, Lt. Patrick Buckley said.

Police located a lone suspect on the premises and determined that he forced his way in to the residence there. A search of the premises with Farmington officers and a canine revealed no one else at the location, and nothing appeared to be stolen at that time, Buckley said.

Elwin Joyce, 34, of Windsor, was charged with second-degree burglary, second-degree criminal trespass, third-degree criminal mischief, criminal attempt to commit sixth-degree larceny and possession of burglary tools. He is being held on $100,000 bond, Buckley said.
