Police Log: Scribner Hill Resident Walks in on Burglar

Monday, April 26

• A burglary was interrupted by a homeowner at 136 Scribner Hill Rd. at approximately 3:15 p.m. The female homeowner came home and discovered an unknown male standing inside the house. She yelled at him and turned and fled the residence and ran to a neighbor's house to call the police. When police arrived, no one was in the home and there was no sign of forced entry. Miscellaneous property had been moved into the kitchen, as if in preparation to be moved out of the home. It is unknown if anything was taken from the residence and the homeowners are still taking inventory. The female victim and a neighbor both reported observing a suspicious, boxy older model blue sedan around the same time, possibly driven by an Hispanic male. Police brought in a K-9 unit from Westport to try to track the burglar but could not locate him. He is described as being a white or Hispanic male, 25 years or older, and about 5'9 and 200 pounds with dark hair.

• Tracy Coer, 44, of Thomaston, Conn. turned herself into police on a violation of probation warrant held for her arrest. The charges stem from a 2002 third degree larceny case. Coer had been incarcerated in the state of Florida on unrelated charges prior to her surrender. She was held on $5,000 bond.
