Police Investigating Car Break-Ins in Bethel

Bethel police are investigating two vehicle break-ins in July after the thieves stole credit cards and used them at several stores and gas stations.

Police said credit cards and other items were stolen from unlocked vehicles parked in driveways of homes close to Route 6 and Interstate 84, near exit 8 on the night of July 27 to July 28.

Two of the stolen credit cards were used on July 28 at Best Buy in Meriden, Target in Meriden, Wal-Mart in Naugatuck and gas stations in Waterbury and Rocky Hill, police said.

The cards were used to buy Play Station 4 consoles Target and Best Buy in Meriden, police said.

Surveillance images showed the same person using a credit card stolen out of Woodbridge to buy another Play Station 4 on Aug. 6.

The person who stole the credit cards on July 28 was driving a silver four-door Honda Civic and the person behind the Aug. 6 incident was driving a silver four-door Acura with a sunroof.

Anyone who recognizes the person in surveillance should contact Bethel PD Detective Frank O’Farrell at 203-744-7900 x105 or fofarrell@bethelpd.com.
