Tagliaferi admitted to the burglaries

Some really good news from the CTPost's Daniel Tepfer:

A career burglar, after accusing Hamden police of trying to force him to confess to dozens of home break-ins, on Tuesday admitted to burglarizing three area homes.

Robert Tagliaferi, 46, of Cheshire, pleaded guilty before Superior Court Judge George Thim to three counts of third-degree burglary and two counts of first-degree larceny.

State's Attorney John Smriga told the judge he will recommend Tagliaferi, who has a long prior criminal record, serve up to 16 years in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 19.
