East Windsor Police Report Rash of Car Burglaries

EAST WINDSOR, CT — Police are cautioning residents about a recent influx of stolen cars and vehicles being ransacked during overnight hours.

Early Friday morning, between 2 and 3:30 a.m., several cars were entered on Scantic and Winton roads, with one car being stolen from Winton Road, police said.

The Scantic Road incident was caught on camera and involved a black car being driven into the driveway of the home, with three occupants exiting the vehicle, who are then observed rummaging through the homeowner’s vehicles parked in the yard, police said.

Earlier in the week, a car was entered on Scantic Road early Sunday morning, which was subsequently found stolen Tuesday morning. Two houses away was a stolen car out of East Hartford, left running and parked in a driveway, according to police.

Police advise residents to lock their cars at night, to not leave car keys in the vehicle and remove anything of value.
