Bridgeport Man Charged in 6 Woodbridge Home Burglaries

Police have arrested a Bridgeport man in connection with six home break-ins this summer in Woodbridge.

Clinton McDevitt, 43, was arrested Monday and charged with four counts of third-degree burglary, two counts of criminal attempt at third-degree burglary, two counts of first-degree criminal mischief, first-degree larceny and driving under the influence.

Woodbridge police said he's suspected of committing six home burglaries on Prospect Court, Seymour Road and Amity Road between May 4 and June 3.

During the burglaries, McDevitt allegedly stole jewelry, electronics, a plasma television and lawn and gardening equipment, some of which has since been recovered, according to police.

Authorities found stolen items in his car June 3 when McDevitt crashed into a utility pole in the area of Rimmon Road and Ansonia Road, police said. He was charged with DUI in connection with the crash.

McDevitt was held on $100,000 bond and appeared in New Haven Superior Court on Monday.

It's not clear if he has an attorney.
