Deja-Vu: Bay Window Break-In at Avalon Darien

On another night, electronic equipment is taken after a bay window is broken overnight at Avalon Darien—within three weeks of the first burglary.

A demonstration apartment at Avalon Darien was burglarized earlier this month, with a television and a stereo system removed.

Police said a 46-inch Samsung television and an iPod stereo system, value not known at the time of the report, were taken from the apartment at 137 Hollow Tree Ridge Rd.

The apartment was broken into sometime between 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 13 and 8:30 a.m., Friday, Dec. 14.
