On Sunday, March 22, 2020, Trumbull police arrested a Milford man on an outstanding warrant for stealing a gold necklace worth almost $12,000 from a jewelry store at the Westfield Trumbull Mall in September 2019.

 

Brandon McLaughlin, age 25, of New Haven Avenue, Milford was posing as a potential costumer at Kay Jewelers, where he asked an employee to look at a 24 inch 10kt gold rope chain. As soon as the employee took the chain out of the display case McLaughlin grabbed it from their hands and ran off. No one was injured during the incident.

 

Prior to McLaughlin trying on the necklace, he tried on watches from various display cases that he had touched while posing as a customer. Trumbull police detectives responded to the scene to investigate when they located and collected a variety of evidence, including fingerprints that were left on the display cases. The recovered fingerprints were submitted to the Connecticut State Forensic Laboratory for analysis and it was later determined that the prints were left by McLaughlin.

Based on the forensic identification, McLaughlin was charged with Larceny 2 nd Degree. He was held on a $30,000.00 court set bond for the warrant and is scheduled to appear in court on March 30, 2020.

Trumbull police are warning residents to be aware of scams related to the recent health crisis occurring worldwide. There have been several unverified reports throughout the country of people posing as personnel from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and going door-to-door, allegedly conducting a coronavirus (COVID- 19) survey or investigation. The Trumbull Police Department would like to make it known that the CDC is not conducting any such survey or investigation. Residents should not grant anyone access into their residence whom they do not know, or who were not previously scheduled to be there. Under these circumstances, Trumbull residents should immediately contact the police.

 

The Trumbull Police would also like to remind all residents not to let their guard down for other scams, to include telephone calls from unknown individuals who request any type of payment or money transfer. Citizens who are randomly contacted by telephone regarding any financial problems should never send money or gift cards to anyone who they do not know. Residents should contact the police department whenever they receive any calls that they consider suspicious in nature. It is always important to report any suspicious persons or activity to the police at (203) 261-3665, or dial 911 for all emergencies.
