Two Charged in Burglaries and Larcenies

Police report they charged two young people with 30 criminal counts each,

stemming from various burglaries and larcenies they allegedly committed

earlier this year at local homes.

Police charged Terry Parker, 19, of Fir Tree Lane, Sandy Hook, and Ukiah

Cunningham, 17, of Pine Street, Sandy Hook, on warrants June 14.

Police obtained court warrants for the arrests following a month-long

investigation by the police department's special investigations unit and the

field services unit. The arrests stem from a string of burglaries committed

during March and April.

Parker and Ms Cunningham, plus a third person whom the police plan to arrest

soon, allegedly were involved in thefts from seven homes. Items taken in the

burglaries include electronic appliances, jewelry, cash, and compact discs.

Some of the stolen items have been recovered, police said.

Police charged Parker and Ms Cunningham each with: seven counts of conspiracy

to commit third-degree burglary; seven counts of third-degree burglary; five

counts of conspiracy to commit third-degree larceny; five counts of

third-degree larceny; two counts of conspiracy to commit fourth-degree

larceny; two counts of fourth-degree larceny; one count of conspiracy to

commit credit card theft; and one count of credit card theft.

Police released Ms Cunningham after she posted a $10,000 bond. She is

scheduled for a July 2 appearance in Danbury Superior Court.

Parker was held on $10,00 bond and then arraigned in court June 17.
