Police have used DNA evidence to identify a suspect after someone broke into a North Haven home three years ago and stole $7,000 worth of jewelry.
A Middletown Avenue resident went to police in 2011 when she returned home from visiting her elderly mother in the hospital and found her door had been forced open.
Jewelry worth around $7,000 has been taken, police said.
Police obtained DNA evidence, which led them to Henry Carisio, 30, of Cheshire.
Carisio was arrested by warrant on Sept. 30 and charged with burglary and larceny.
He is due in Meriden Superior Court on Oct. 16.
