One Arrested for Compo Beach Area Car Break-ins and Thefts in October, November
On November 30, 2021, the Westport Police took multiple reports of motor vehicle burglaries as well as a report of a stolen car. These incidents occurred during the early morning hours in the Compo Beach section of town. On December 2, 2020, a party identified as Christopher Mulkern as well as a second male were arrested by the Stratford, CT police. At the time of this arrest, the two men were reportedly found to be in possession of a piece property that was stolen during one of the above-mentioned motor vehicle burglaries. Additionally, during the course of the investigation, a cell phone which purportedly belonged to Mr. Mulkern was recovered. The phone was searched pursuant to a search and seizure warrant. An examination of the device reportedly revealed additional evidence linking Mr. Mulkern and his accomplice to these crimes. Further, there was a video as well as pictures on the phone which purportedly tied the two men to the theft of a motor vehicle which occurred in Westport on October 6, 2020.
Based upon the investigation, a warrant for Mr. Mulkern’s arrest was completed and signed by a Superior Court judge.
On the morning of July 28, 2021, Mr. Mulkern was arrested by Westport detectives. Per the warrant, he was charged with five counts of Burglary in the Third Degree, Conspiracy to Commit Burglary in the Third Degree, Larceny in the First Degree, Conspiracy to Commit Larceny in the First Degree, Larceny in the Fifth Degree, and four counts of Larceny in the Sixth Degree. Mr. Mulkern was held on a $200,000.00 bond and was arraigned at Stamford Superior Court later that same day.
