Milardo is asking residents to remain vigilant, and to report any suspicious vehicles and/or persons in their neighborhoods.
"Many burglars will simply knock on the front door, prior to breaking in, to see if anyone is home," Milardo warned. "If possible, obtain detailed descriptions such as license plates, vehicle and suspect descriptions, etc., and report it immediately to State Police."
Anyone with concerns or information on a crime in progress is asked to contact the Connecticut State Police, Troop F in Westbrook at 860-399-2100, or the Haddam Resident Troopers' Office at 860-345-2769.
