Man ‘Ransacked’ Home, Stole Jewelry, Cash During Burglary: Hamden Police

HAMDEN, CT — A 19-year-old New Haven man is accused of stealing numerous items, including jewelry and money, from a Hamden home over the summer, according to police.

On June 27, 2016, Hamden Police responded to a Warner Street residence on the report of a forcible burglary. The victim had returned home and found her residence “ransacked,” according to Capt. Ronald Smith.

Smith said officers determined that Shaymell Stanley climbed a first-level deck railing and then grabbed onto a satellite dish that was bolted near a second-floor window. He then forced entry by removing an air conditioning unit that was located near the window, according to Smith.

“Once inside, Stanley stole numerous items, including jewelry and money,” Smith said in a press release. “DNA evidence left at the scene linked Stanley to the burglary.”

Detective Joseph Liguori conducted an investigation that led to the application of an arrest warrant for Stanley.

Stanley was arrested Jan. 22 by the New Haven Police Department and subsequently turned over to the Hamden Police Department.

Stanley, of Cedar Hill Avenue, was charged with third-degree burglary and fourth-degree larceny. He was held on a $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court on Feb. 6.
