Police Charge Suspect in Wheeler Road Burglary

Monroe police served a warrant for the arrest of a burglary suspect at court Friday morning. Raymond Reynolds, 29, who was already in prison for a string of burglaries in Oxford and Stratford, has also been linked to similar crimes throughout Fairfield and New Haven counties.

Items taken in the October burglary of a house in the 500 block of Wheeler Road were found in a search of Reynolds' vehicle by Stratford police officers on Oct. 22, according to police. Monroe officers then conducted a joint investigation with Stratford and Oxford police departments, which led to the town's arrest warrant.

Reynolds of Old State Road in Oxford was charged with third-degree burglary and first-degree larceny and held on $10,000 bond.

Police said Reynolds allegedly stole over $25,000 worth of items from the Wheeler Road home, including cash, jewelry, TVs and baseball cards.

One 16-year-old boy was charged with possession of less-than-four-ounces of marijuana March 10 after two small plastic bags of pot were found on him, police said.
