Norwalk Woman Charged with Burglarizing Darien Home

Darien police charged a 45-year-old Norwalk woman with burglarizing a Talmadge Hill Road home in June.

Darien Police arrested a 45-year-old Norwalk woman Thursday on an accusation that she burglarized a Talmadge Hill Road home in June, stealing an iPad, Tumi work bag and Luis Vuitton wallet overnight while residents were at home.

Darien police gave this account (an accusation not proven in court) about the matter:


Residents reported the thefts to police at 10:15 a.m., June 25, the morning after the burglary. There were no signs of forced entry to the home.

An investigation, the details of which weren't released by police, led them to Sharon Rotunda of Elmcrest Terrace in Norwalk. She denied involvement in the burglary, but items stolen were found in the area of her apartment.

Police applied for and received an arrest warrant. Rotunda was informed of the warrant and on Thursday, Aug. 22, turned herself in to police.

She was charged with second-degree burglary, fifth-degree larceny and credit card theft. She was released on a promise to appear Sept. 3 in state Superior Court in Stamford, but also turned over to Stamford police, who had a warrant for Rotunda on unrelated charges.
