WILTON – Police are investigating several burglaries which are believed to have occurred last night along Village View and High Street, targeting both homes and at least one vehicle. Anyone who might have seen anything suspicious in the area last night is asked to contact the Wilton Police Department.
According to Police Chief Heidi Wilcox, at least five homes and one vehicle were entered by at least one person overnight. Missing items include an Ipad, an Amazon Tap speaker and cash, as well as food, alcohol and cigarettes. Police currently believe the perpetrator or perpetrators were traveling on foot through the area.
Wilcox asked anyone who either saw someone walking in that area or anything suspicious last night to call the police. She also noted that people should consider keeping their homes and vehicles locked.
Hard to believe this person was able to enter 5 homes without being caught by someone. All the more reason to carry and protect ourselves!
To the notion of carry and protect. The person(s) came in to unlocked houses, took small items, and left. How exactly would carry and protect have prevented this? Do you know the particulars of any of the break ins? Here is a fact about what happened. Unlocked doors and sleeping residents who were not aware when the robberies were happening.
A locked door would have been a far more effective prevention means.If the people really need the food and the $3 they stole from me, come by some day and I’ll cook you a meal.

My house was robbed— your post has made me feel maybe this town doesn’t stink as bad as I have felt for quite some time. Thanks for the wit and civic-mindedness. We need more of this sleeve rolling up with a dose of wry humor to fix the challenges facing this area.
