Man Arrested in Miami Beach for Burglaries in Darien and New York State
Police in Miami Beach arrested a man they believe is responsible for a home burglary in Darien. Law enforcement believes that the man arrested may also be responsible for burglaries in Fairfield County and in New York and Connecticut.Miami Beach police arrested the man on a fugitive warrant. He was extradited to New York state to prosecution on burglary charges in at least one county in that state. He has been charged with third-degree burglary and first-degree larceny in Darien county as well. He is also expected to be sent to Connecticut from New York to deal with the charges he faces in that state. No information is available as to when the suspect is to return to Florida to face these charges.According to law enforcement officials who arrested the suspected burglar, the man stole approximately $20,000 worth of jewelry and gold coins from a residence in Darien. He is accused of stealing similar types of property from other residential properties in Florida and New York, leading police to conclude that the burglaries were all perpetrated by the same individual.A person facing charges similar to those of the man arrested and extradited to Florida needs solid representation from a Miami Beach criminal defense lawyer, specifically a Miami Beach burglary criminal defense lawyer.
