Joseph McIntyre, 27, of Norwalk was charged with third-degree burglary and fourth-degree larceny Monday. He was held on a $10,000 warrant and will next appear in court on Feb. 5.

McIntyre was identified as a suspect during the investigation and police secured a warrant to search his home on Vail Street, according to police reports. Police said they found stolen items in his bedroom and his car, which were later identified by the owner of the home on Bartlett Avenue. McIntyre admitted to officers that he had committed some burglaries, including the home on Bartlett Avenue, according to police.
A warrant was issued for McIntyre’s arrest and he was taken into custody Monday while appearing in court in Stamford on unrelated charges.
