Cops Share Video Of A 'Suspect' Looking For Unlocked Cars In Driveway

EAST HAVEN, CT — IN an effort to encourage folks to ensure their cars are locked at all times, especially overnight, police released a video on Ring-camera surveillance from a residence on its Facebook page.

In the video clip, a person in a dark hoodie and what appears to be a face mask, is seen coming from an idling car at the end of a residential driveway.
