Armed suspects break into Connecticut home, demand pricey cat


Two armed men broke into a Connecticut home on Sunday afternoon and demanded the residents hand over what authorities called a “high-dollar value cat.”

The home invasion happened around 3:46 in East Haven, the East Haven Police Department said.

The suspects reportedly kicked through a sliding glass door and brandished a gun while telling the resident to give them the animal. After searching for several minutes for the cat, the resident was able to fight off the suspects, who then fled the scene in a blue BMW without the feline.

Detectives were able to locate the car in Hamden, about 13 miles north, and seized it for evidence. It was then determined that the suspects knew the victims. The investigation is ongoing.

“This was not a random incident and detectives are following up on several leads,” East Haven Police Capt. Joseph Murgo said Monday.

No other information about the cat — such as its breed or what makes it valuable — was made available. No injuries were reported.
