Teen Broke Into Home, Threw New Year's Party: Cops

A Pennsylvania teen accused of breaking into a West Hartford home and throwing a New Year's Eve party two years ago was arrested last week, police said.

Daniel Carl Hein, 19, of Levittown, Pennsylvania, is suspected of breaking into a West Hartford house on Dec. 31, 2012, while the residents were away on vacation, and hosting a booze-filled New Year's Eve party for young people, police said.

Items were missing from the home and property was damaged during the party.

Hein was extradited from Pennsylvania and arrested on Oct. 8 at noon. Police charged him with third-degree burglary, conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary and conspiracy to commit first-degree criminal mischief, police said.

It's unclear what was stolen and whether Hein knew the homeowners.

Hein was held on a $5,500 cash-only bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 16.
