Three Juveniles, One Adult Charged with Burglary

Newtown police say the four individuals allegedly burglarized a Sandy Hook business.


An 18-year-old Newtown resident and three juvenile males were arrested Nov. 17 on charges that they burglarized a Sandy Hook business.

According to police, the arrests came about at 6:30 a.m. that morning after officers responded to an auto body business at 104 Glen Road on report of a burglary. One juvenile was taken into custody at the scene, police said, while the other two were picked up walking down the street.

The 18-year-old, who police identified as Christopher Mulligan, was arrested about two hours later at his 44 Botsford Hill Road residence, according to police.
