weathafella Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hopefully isolated. There was a frenzy in our neighborhood a few years ago when a guy who was a drug addict was watching homes and when someone left checked to see if the door was open and if anyone else was home. If the house was empty, he’d go through unlocked doors. He was apprehended quickly. We still don’t lock our doors outside of overnight. Likely the car in Tolland was unlocked.

It’s been happening bi weekly or monthly . I saw the video where they caught them. They were hiding in a shed . I guess they drove around my circle 3 times and were stopping and looking at houses and cars and someone shoveling approached them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teenagers have literally nothing to do anymore outside of being on their phones. That breeds low-level crime like this. Many other factors too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve gathered.. they stole an Acura RDX in Manchester, drove up here and were looking for trouble. You know how my neighborhood is a circle.. so my neighbor said he saw them circle around three x over the course of 10 minutes. And they were stopping at houses and I guess trying to open car doors . He said one of his neighbors approached them and they took off . They then went down to the Green and crashed the car and took off on foot . Had handguns and hid in a shed. The video shows three of them cuffed and stuffed into three different cruisers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a rash of carjackings and muggings by teenagers in this area. I believe CT also has become pretty soft with minor offenders, so that probably plays into it as well.
