DNA Test of Rubber Glove Leads To Arrest in 2019 Burglary

More

Police on Tuesday arrested a 54-year-old man by warrant in connection with a burglary last March.

On March 25, 2019, officers responded to a report of a burglary at a Jelliff Mill Road home, police said. 

About $25,000 worth of items had been stolen, according to a police report.

Members of the New Canaan Police Department’s Investigative Section collected forensic evidence from the scene, the report said.

DNA taken from a blue rubber glove recovered at the scene led to the identity of the Stamford man, it said.

Police obtained a warrant for first-degree larceny and third-degree burglary, and at about 4:30 p.m. served it on the man, currently incarcerated in Bridgeport, the report said.

He was scheduled to appear Oct. 16 on the new charges (he also is facing multiple larceny and burglary charges out of Stamford, court records show).
