A Stratford man is accused of breaking into an animal hospital in October, according to police.
Police said Nicholas Bruner, 31, was charged with third-degree burglary and second-degree criminal mischief in connection with an incident on Oct. 2, 2016.
“It’s possible he was going after drugs. They have a lot of different sedatives and such for animals in the hospital that could be used by adult, or humans, but obviously not recommended,” Captain Frank Eannotti, of the Stratford police department, said.
Police said they responded to a burglar alarm at The Pet Hospital on Linden Avenue on Oct. 2 and found a broken window with blood on the frame, as well as a set of keys and a cell phone.
The keys and cell phone led officers to Bruner, police said.
Bruner was released on $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 1.
