NORWALK, CT — A man was arrested after allegedly breaking into a neighbor’s apartment, stealing knives and making threats about the building exploding.
Patrol officers responded to 150 Glover Avenue on May 22, 2026, following a report of a residential burglary.
The resident reported that a man entered her apartment through a sliding door and announced, “Inspection.”
The resident, awakened by the sound of the door being forced open, discovered the man in her kitchen removing knives from her knife block.
The suspect stole six knives, made threatening statements about the building “blowing up” and “everyone dying,” and fled the apartment.
Officers quickly located the suspect outside the building.
He was identified as Nicolas I. Damjanovic, 36, of Norwalk, and was found in possession of the stolen knives.
During the encounter, Damjanovic reiterated his threat, claiming that the building’s fourth floor was in danger due to a gas leak and a potential fire.
The Norwalk Fire Department responded to the scene to ensure public safety.
Fire personnel discovered a burnt rag on the stove in Damjanovic’s apartment, confirming the threat had a potential fire hazard.
Damjanovic was charged with home invasion and disorderly conduct.
He was held on $100,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 5, 2026.
