On May 4, 2016 at approximately 2:00pm Milford Police received a complaint of a possible Distraction Burglary in the area of Orange Avenue and Pullman Drive.
The suspect gained entry into the residence by stating to the homeowner he was from the water company. Once inside the home he requested the homeowner show him a specific area of the home and asked the homeowner to turn the washing machine on to check the water color, claiming natural gas had mixed into the water system. The men eventually exited the home through the basement. The homeowner noticed another male inside the home as he and the suspect were exiting. He confronted the male at which point both males left the residence on foot southbound on Orange Avenue.
It is unknown at this time if any valuables were taken from inside the residence.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Milford Police at 203-878-6551 or Detective Michael Moreno at mmoreno@ci.milford.ct.us or 203-878-4729.
