Connecticut Man Charged in Post-Sandy Burglary Spree

A man charged with going on a burglary spree in the New York City suburbs after Superstorm Sandy in 2012 now faces a long list of similar charges in Connecticut.

Twenty-three-year-old John Tully of Greenwich, Connecticut, recently was charged with a series of burglaries and lootings in Greenwich and Fairfield in the days after the storm hit.

The Greenwich Time reports that Tully was arrested on the Greenwich charges last week. He was charged in the Fairfield break-ins July 30 after being released from a New York prison, where he served time for burglaries in Rye, New York.

Tully’s lawyer didn’t immediately return a phone message Friday.

Police say Tully and another man facing charges stole cash, electronics and other goods from homes and businesses in Fairfield and Greenwich.
