MILFORD, MA — A Milford man is facing charges after a resident reported seeing someone enter her home on a security camera, according to police.
A resident in the West Walnut Street area reported seeing a man entering her home on CCTV at about 6:32 a.m. Friday, according to the Milford Police Department. Detectives identified the suspect as Cristian Romero, 24, after comparing the footage to an April 27 Milford police press release from a previous breaking-and-entering arrest.
At about 10:20 a.m., members of the Milford Police Patrol Division and Detective Bureau found Romero walking on Main Street wearing the same clothing seen in the CCTV footage, police said.
Romero was arrested and taken to the Milford Police Department for booking.
“The illegal entry of homes and vehicles is one of the most invasive crimes committed," Milford Police Chief Robert Tusino wrote in a news release on Friday. "Anyone who threatens the sanctity of our resident’s dwellings will be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
In addition to open charges from the April 27 arrest, Romero was charged with breaking and entering a building at night for a felony, breaking and entering a vehicle or boat at night for a felony and two counts of attempted larceny, police said.
