Norwalk police have arrested 27-year-old Michael Maldonado in connection with a violent carjacking that took place on Burwell Street last November. Maldonado, who was masked during the attack, smashed a car window while two people were inside, driving off with one passenger still in the backseat before abandoning the vehicle and fleeing. After an extensive investigation, police identified Maldonado—who was known to one of the victims—and secured an arrest warrant. He was taken into custody on March 6, 2025, and faces multiple charges, including robbery by carjacking, unlawful restraint, and violation of a protective order. His bond was set at $100,000, with a court appearance scheduled for March 7.
