Stolen Car Recovered After Chase, 3 Arrested: Greenwich Police

GREENWICH, CT — Three people were arrested and a stolen car was recovered following a pursuit in town on Saturday that left a police officer injured, according to the Greenwich Police Department. A fourth suspect was able to escape.

Anthony Palacios, 20, of Waterbury, remains in custody after being unable to post his bond, while two teenagers, a 17-year-old from Stamford and a 16-year-old from Bridgeport, were issued misdemeanor summonses with court dates, police said in a social media post.

In the early morning hours of Aug. 24, a stolen Cadillac sedan from Stratford was spotted in Greenwich at a Mobil station where officers attempted to apprehend the suspects, police said.

The car left at a high rate of speed, but officers successfully disabled it using a tire deflation device, causing the four suspects to flee on foot, police said.

Three suspects were quickly apprehended, and one was able to escape, police said. A Greenwich police sergeant suffered a minor injury but was later treated and released from the hospital.

"We want to thank our officers for their swift actions in apprehending these suspects and ensuring the safety of our community," police said. "Let's continue to work together to keep our neighborhoods safe."
