NBPD Makes Two Burglary Arrests

The issued press releases for two unrelated burgarly charges. 

On May 4, the NBPD received a call regarding a possible burglary to a residence on Foxon Road. Due to recent suspicious activity at the residence, the caller, a teenager, was checking the house at the request of the homeowner who was not home at the time. While checking the home, the teenager noticed a door leading to the garage slightly open. When he went to inspect further, as he entered the garage, a white male reportedly came running out past him carrying a crowbar.

The teenager followed the individual and reported that he entered a Dodge pickup and left the area. The teenager then made a 911 call and provided information regarding the vehicle and direction of travel. 

"Because of this teenager’s ability to think clearly, the information he provided to the police dispatcher led to the apprehension of Michael Orifice," stated the press release.

Orifice, 43, of Kirkham Street in East Haven, was charged with third-degree burglary and fourth-degree criminal mischief. He was subsequently released with a May 18 court date.
