On November 30, 2020, 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 Edwin
Cordero 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. During the investigation, which
included the execution of a search warrant, additional evidence linking Mr. Cordero and his
accomplice to these crimes was reportedly obtained. Furthermore, there was evidence 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. Cordero’s arrest was completed and
signed by a Superior Court judge.
On the morning of August 10, 2021, Mr. Cordero 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. Cordero was held on a $200,000.00 bond and was arraigned at Stamford Superior
Court later that same day.
