SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

On 01/15/21 at approximately 2358 hours, Troopers responded to a burglary in progress at a residence on Morgan Horse Farm Road in the Town of Weybridge. Troopers arrived shortly after and observed a truck near the residence, driving toward Middlebury.

After speaking with a witness on scene, Troopers and Officers with the Middlebury Police Department located the truck and conducted a motor vehicle stop. Troopers identified the operator as Robert Morin (55) of Salisbury, VT.

Investigation revealed Morin entered the residence having no right to do so with the intent to commit petit larceny. Morin also provided false information to law enforcement officers in order to deflect an investigation.
