On Saturday at approximately 8:00pm multiple Greenwich police units were dispatched to the central part of town in response to a report of two individuals observed on surveillance video inside an unoccupied residence.
Officers responded immediately, but the suspects had already fled the area. Additional resources were requested, including K-9 units and aerial drone support to assist in locating the suspects.
The Stamford Police Dept deployed its drone unit, and Greenwich Police Dept’s K-9 unit responded to aid in the search.
Officers tracked the suspects on foot through the neighborhood which led officers to a second unoccupied residence, where fresh damage was observed to a second-story window. The second residence was located less than half a mile from the original burglary. The homeowners confirmed that no one was authorized to be inside the residence at that time.
Believing the suspects had entered the home while attempting to evade capture, officers made entry and conducted a systematic search of the residence. During the search, one suspect was located hiding within a stairwell that led to a small crawlspace.
The individual was ordered to surrender and complied without incident.
