Police Search for Suspect in Thompson House Invasion

Detectives from Connecticut State Police are investigating a house invasion in Thompson on Monday.

Police were called around 8:38 a.m. by a homeowner on Laporte Road. The homeowner said he was the victim of an armed robbery.

According to the homeowner, he was inside of his house, exiting the bathroom in his master bedroom when he was confronted by a man. The homeowner described the man as being in his early to mid 30s, approximately 5'6" to 5'8", about 130-150 pounds with tan skin, dark colored eyes, dark brown hair and dark, unshaven facial hair. The homeowner said the man was wearing a black baseball-style hat with white-colored numbers and letters on the front of it, a black pullover sweatshirt, grey denim jeans and white, high top sneakers with red and black trim.

The homeowner said the man brandished a folding knife and demanded that the homeowner drive him to an ATM to withdraw money. The man threatened to cause bodily harm to the homeowner if he did not comply with his requests so the homeowner drove to two separate banks and withdrew money for him.

The homeowner was able to provide police with a partial Massachusetts plate and vehicle description, which officers said was found to be stolen earlier in the morning from Webster, Massachusetts. The vehicle was described as a green 2003 Pontiac Grand AM with a lot of bumper stickers with a Massachusetts license plate of 5VAJ30.

Anyone with information on the man or any information regarding the investigation is asked to call Connecticut State Police at (860) 779-4944.
