Larceny Charge, Car Crash Investigation

A Shelton woman has been charged with larceny after stealing from a home on Edgewood Road in Oxford, police said.

Danielle Cajigas, 22, of 45 Woodfield Drive, was charged with fifth-degree larceny after police learned she pawned the stolen items at a local pawn shop, according to a police report.

She has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge and is scheduled for a pre-trial conference at Derby Superior Court on August 20.

Cajigas has charges pending from arrests in Shelton, where she was charged with two counts of sixth-degree larceny and forgery in two separate incidents. Both cases are awaiting disposition, according to Judicial Branch records.
