In that incident, jewelry, personal papers, and some money was stolen, police have said. First-degree larceny represents the theft of items worth more than $20,000.

Car Wash Theft

On the morning of March 3, Fairfield police notified Newtown police that they had in custody a man for whom Newtown police held an arrest warrant.

Newtown police then arrested Samuel Anthony, 39, of Bridgeport on a charge of third-degree larceny, which is a felony.

Police said Anthony allegedly stole money from Newtown Car Wash on Simm Lane in July 2008. Based on the charge and the period during which the crime allegedly occurred, the amount of money stolen would have ranged from $1,000 to $5,000.

Police held Anthony on $5,000 bail for a March 3 court arraignment.

Alcohol Aftermath

After learning that police held warrants for their arrest, twin brothers from Monroe turned themselves over to police at the police station on the morning of March 2 and were each charged with failure to respond to an infraction, police said.

Police said they arrested Joshua Berez and Aaron Berez, both 20, on the charges.

Police said they obtained warrants against the Berez brothers because they had not responded to infractions which they received on May 30, 2009, on charges of illegal possession of alcohol by a minor on private property. Those tickets carry $136 fines.

The Berez brothers were among 12 underage people who received alcohol violations from police stemming from a party held at a Button Shop Road home.

Each brother posted $136 bail on March 2. Both were released for March 16 appearances in Danbury Superior Court.
