The Farmington Police Department's arrest log for March 24, 2026 — covering the 24-hour window from 7 a.m. to 7 a.m. — recorded one arrest: a Wethersfield man charged with larceny sixth degree in connection with shoplifting at 500 South Road.
Hannes Josue Guaman, 28, of 342 Brimfield Road, Wethersfield, was arrested at 12:19 p.m. by Officer Daniel R. Aparo. The charge is §53a-125b — the lowest tier of larceny available under Connecticut law, a Class C misdemeanor for theft under $200. The log's remarks field: "Arrested in connection with shoplifting." He posted bond.
Bond: $1,500 nonsurety. Court date: April 7, 2026. Incident number: 2600004868.
Worth noting: this is the third shoplifting arrest at 500 South Road in recent Farmington logs. Chassidy N Cote was arrested there on March 21. Alexis J Caballero followed on March 23. Both of those arrests were handled by Officer Kyle Roque, who had developed what could charitably be called a specialty. The March 24 log assigns the call to Officer Daniel R. Aparo — a new name in this series. The record does not explain the change in personnel. The outcome was the same.
All three defendants are from outside Farmington. The address is developing a reputation.
Guaman is presumed innocent. The case proceeds to court April 7.
