Teens Charged in Car Break-Ins in Branford

Branford police have arrested two teens who are accused of breaking into unlocked cars in the parking area of a condominium and taking money.

A resident of the Thimble Island Condominiums, at 45 Jefferson Road, called police around midnight after seeing the teens go into parked cars, so police responded and found a 17-year-old and a 15-year-old, who are both from New Haven, in the condominium complex.

Police urge anyone who sees anything suspicious to report it and they ask residents to lock vehicles when they are unattended.

Both teens were referred to New Haven Juvenile Court and have been charged with third-degree burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary in the third degree, sixth-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny in the sixth degree.

Both were later released to an immediate family member.
