Stolen East Haven Vehicle Recovered In Trumbull

TRUMBULL, CT — Two stolen vehicles were recovered and a juvenile was arrested at the Trumbull mall last week

An officer patrolling the mall parking lot spotted three makes acting suspiciously Feb. 1 around 5:30 p.m. One of them ran to a silver Hyundai and ducked down by the driver door. He then drove the car which was reported stolen out of West Haven toward the other males. The two others walked away after seeing another Trumbull officer driving nearby, said Capt. Keith Golding, police spokesman.

The male drove out to Main Street, but police quickly blocked the vehicle and took the driver into custody. The 16-year-old New Haven teen was charged with second-degree larceny and operating without a license.

The other two juveniles were detained at the mall and released to their parents. All three juveniles were connected to a second stolen vehicle that was recovered on Pequonnock Avenue earlier in the day. That vehicle was stolen in East Haven.
