Caught in the act A home-security camera captured a man attempting to break into a Somers car in the owner’s driveway on March 3 at 7:20 a.m.

At about 7:30 a.m. one morning last month, a Somers resident noticed a number of parked cars on her sparsely populated street and then, to her surprise, a “kid stroll through my front yard and pull on my car doors.” Luckily the doors were locked. “At first I thought it was kids just goofing around,” said the homeowner, who turned to the Somers public forum on Facebook page to report her dismay by posting photos of the incident from a home security camera. But soon another member of the forum reported that the black Audi with Massachusetts license plates that could be seen in the photos was stolen the night before from a gas station in Wethersfield. By the time family members spoke with State Trooper Michael Hevey about the incident, he already knew that the suspicious car had been spotted in another town.
