When the grandmother heard glass breaking and screams coming from the bedroom, she went inside and was also attacked, McCormack said. Harrington punched the 78-year-old repeatedly and ultimately bound both women with duct tape, McCormack said. According to authorities, Harrington disabled the home's landline phone and took his ex-girlfriend's cellphone before fleeing in a 2003 Nissan Murano. The women were still tied up but managed to free themselves about an hour after Harrington left, McCormack said. Police responded to the home about 5:30 a.m. and soon issued a statewide alert, describing Harrington and his vehicle. The two women and the 2-year-old girl were taken by ambulance to the Hospital of Central Connecticut at New Britain General, where the grandmother remained hospitalized as of Monday morning, McCormack said. Their identities were not released because the attack involved a sexual assault. Sunday afternoon, Naugatuck police pulled over the Nissan and took Harrington into custody without incident, McCormack said. Berlin police then picked up Harrington, who has no certain address and had recently been moving from one friend's home to the next, and booked him on 16 counts. He was charged with first-degree strangulation, first-degree assault, first-degree assault of an elderly person, two counts of second-degree threatening, third-degree sexual assault, two counts of first-degree unlawful restraint, first-degree burglary, first-degree robbery, fifth-degree larceny, interfering with an emergency call, risk of injury to a minor, tampering with physical evidence and two counts of breach of peace by assault. Harrington was being held Monday at the Berlin Police Department with bail set at $1 million and is expected to appear this morning in Superior Court in New Britain. -By Vanessa De La Torre, Hartford Courant Staff Writer Back to Home Security News Home Page GE Home Security

He is charged with theft of property valued at more than $1, 000 and two counts of burglary. He was still at the Williamson County jail this morning, with bail set at $75, 000. Investigators say Bernard is connected to two burglaries that occurred Oct. 5 and Oct. 9 at the Music and Arts Center in Cool Springs and burglaries at Computer Renaissance and Michael Renee Portrait Studio in Brentwood. Bernard was serving probation for breaking into an Oak Hill home in 2002. Police said he will be charged with violating that probation. In the Oak Hill case, Bernard was shot in the face by the homeowner. Police said Bernard, who was 17 at the time of the break-in, was accused of bringing guns and duct tape to the home. In 2003, a Davidson County judge sentenced Bernard to 90 days in jail and more than seven years of probation. Bernard was also ordered to pay the homeowners $5, 000. At a sentencing hearing on Oct. 3, 2003, Bernard said he'd developed a drug habit costing him $800 to $1, 000 a week.

• Lock bumping: A new burglary threat bad car credit guide loan

November 13, 2007 (North Palm Beach, FL)

Using cheap tools and tips available online, thieves could probably get into your house in less than a minute. Most American homes are vulnerable to this spreading break-in technique. Imagine a method of defeating the vast majority of American locks that can be learned in under an hour, uses tools that can be acquired on the Internet for less than $50 and, if done right, can be performed in less than a minute, leaving little or no trace of a break-in. bad credit loan

If you watch local news or spend time on the Internet, you may have heard alarming stories about a new way of picking a lock called lock bumping or key bumping. Security experts in Europe and, more recently, the United States have declared lock bumping a danger to anyone who secures their valuables with pin-tumbler locks, which happens to include the vast majority of American houses. credit definition derivative

What is lock bumping Lock bumping is a way of opening a lock using a specially filed key that is the same size and shape as the key normally used in the lock. This special bump key is inserted into the lock and then struck with a tool made of rubber or plastic. The impact of the bump key on the tumblers inside the lock temporarily pushes them up, allowing the lock s cylinder to turn. This method, if done correctly, can open a lock quickly and with relatively little noise. bad credit mortgage

The main concern is that it is so darn easy and that you don t need any special tools or training. You only need a key, which in most cases is an easy thing to get, says Barry Wels, a founding member of The Open Organization of Lockpickers (TOOOL), a Dutch locksmiths club that has helped promote awareness of the technique among government officials and consumers. If you take a motivated 15- or 16-year-old and give him an hour or two and $100 to invest in tools, he can open most locks. the insider guide to credit
