Bridgeport Teens Arrested After Stolen Car Crash In Stamford: GPD

GREENWICH, CT — Two 17-year-old Bridgeport residents were arrested by Greenwich police late Monday night after they crashed a stolen Honda into a light pole and parked vehicle off exit 6 of I-95 in Stamford, according to authorities.

The two teens suffered non-life threatening injuries and were treated at Stamford Hospital following the 11:40 p.m. incident. Due to their ages, the identities of the two juveniles were not disclosed.

A third suspect who was in the Honda escaped on foot after the crash, but police are looking for an Audi, which may or may not have been stolen also, which also sped off with the Honda. The occupants of both cars were seen stopped and talking to each other at a green light on Indian Field Road in Greenwich minutes before.

A Greenwich officer pulled up behind them on Indian Field Road, and when the occupants of the two cars realized a cop was behind them, they both sped off onto I-95 northbound with the officer in pursuit.

The Audi was last seen speeding off northbound on I-95, but the Honda pulled off at exit 6 and crashed. The officer apprehended the two suspects, but the third got away. He was seen wearing a dark-colored hoodie, but no other description was given.

This case is not to be confused with a similar stolen vehicle crash in Westport Tuesday morning, in which five suspects were arrested.

Greenwich police are looking into whether there is any connection between the Greenwich and Westport incidents.

Charges are pending for the two arrested by Greenwich police, and the case is being handled out of Juvenile Court in Bridgeport.
