Suspect in Ledyard Home Burglary Arrested

Police arrested a suspect in an August residential burglary in Ledyard during a traffic stop in Montville on Wednesday.

Police started investigating on August 16 after items were stolen from a home on Town Farm Road in Ledyard.

Investigators determined that an item stolen from the residence had been pawned at a local pawn shop and they obtained an arrest warrant for Samuel Moreno, 19, of Old Colchester Road in Salem.
Yesterday, a Montville police officer stopped a car Moreno was driving.

Police said Moreno provided a false name, but police were able to identify him and arrested him on suspicion of criminal impersonation and motor vehicle charges.

Moreno was also charged with sixth-degree larceny for his alleged involvement in the Town Farm Road theft.

He will be arraigned at GA 21 on the motor vehicle charges and at GA 10 on the larceny charge.

Police continue to investigate and said more arrests are possible.
