10:26pm–Trumbull–Around 10:25pm Sunday night a “Be On The Look Out” report was broadcasted to local police that a car jacking occurred on Route 8 near exit 10 or 11. Trumbull Police with the aid of nearby towns quickly set up perimeter on Huntington and Merritt Boulevard, the back side of Huntington Road near Beaver Dam and Hawley Lane at Huntington Road. Canine from Shelton aided in setting up a track in the wooded area. About twenty minutes later radio transmissions said “the operator made up the story” possibly to cover up an auto accident.
