North Branford Police officers working off a resident's call investigated an unoccupied, suspicious vehicle the Williams Road area early this morning. After confirming the vehicle was not stolen, the officers kept it under surveillance and observed two males exit a nearby wooded area carrying a large gym-type bag and getting into the vehicle.

Officer Thomas Pacelli stopped the pair and after a brief investigation determined that the two had just committed a burglary at a home located nearby at 77 Foxon Road. The pair had forced entry into the home and had stripped it of copper pipes and wiring. The home was not occupied at the time of the incident.

Arrested were Joshua Sabetta, 25, and Kyle Gildersleeve, 21, both of North Branford. Both were charged with third-degree burglary, possession of burglary tools, sixth degree larceny, and conspiracy to commit burglary and larceny. Both were held pending court appearance today at GA 23 in New Haven.
