'Hide-And-Seek' Bandit No Match For Enfield Police Drone Unit

ENFIELD, CT — Enfield police sent out a clear message after a drone and dog track early Sunday morning led to the apprehension of a runaway larceny suspect.

"Our teams are always up for a good game of hide-and-seek," they said.

The situation unraveled at the CVS store at 47 Hazard Ave., police said. A man was seen running from the property into a wooded area, and both a drone and canine unit were deployed. The drone located a heat signature in the woods and acted as a spotter for police dog Dunkin as he began to move, police said.

The runaway bandit was eventually corralled in the vicinity of the commercial property at 60 Freshwater Boulevard and was taken into custody, police said.

Michael Brown, 34, of Stamford is now facing a larceny charge, police said.
