Police UPDATE: On Sunday April 26, 2020 at 2313hrs a BPD Officer came over the radio reporting that a vehicle just attempted to strike him as he was approaching it near Huntington Road and East Main St. The vehicle, that was determined to be stolen out of Greenwich based on the plate information provided by the officer began to flee at a high rate of speed leading police on a short pursuit towards the highway. Once approaching the highway, BPD called off the pursuit however; all surrounding PDs along with the State were provided the description of the vehicle and license plate over the police hotline. Later on, Westport PD spotted a vehicle that matched the description traveling in their town. The vehicle again led officers on a pursuit through Westport and Norwalk until that pursuit was called off with vehicle speeding doing 110mph. Bridgeport PD and State PD then witnesses the vehicle exiting the highway and entering the PD Barnum Apartments, where officers located the vehicle unoccupied on Arthur St. With the help of K9 multiple Juveniles were detained, questioned and thus turned over to their parents due to the difficulty of identifying the exact parties driving with the same face masks. The stolen vehicle recovered and was detained for prints and evidence. Along with the recovered vehicle, two other key fobs were found on the juveniles matching other types of autos.
UPDATE: Police locate the stolen Mercedes near Yacht Street. K-9 tracked to PT Barnum Housing between buildings 10 and 11 where two suspects were apprehended, one of them had a key fob. One of the suspects was 14 years old and was released to the parents.
