WILTON — Police are investigating a burglary in which firearms and jewelry were taken from a home on U.S. Route 2 West.
While the homeowner was away for a few days, someone broke into the house and stole two handguns and a rifle, police Chief Heidi Wilcox said. The firearms are valued at $2,000 and it’s estimated about the same amount in jewelry was taken.
The homeowner returned Friday to find the door kicked in, she said. The burglary could have occurred within the past 10 days.
One neighbor reported seeing a red truck driving slowly near the house within the past week, she said. The witness thought the truck was a GMC and was driven by a man with dark hair and a dark beard.
On the side of the truck was a decal of a moose in the woods. It could have been a business vehicle, but there was no lettering, Wilcox said. Police are considering it a vehicle of interest, she said.
Anyone with information about the vehicle is asked to call Wilton police at 645-3876.
