Suspicious Person Struck By Vehicle, Both Leave The Scene: North Haven Police

NORTH HAVEN, CT — Police are asking for help with information regarding a suspicious person who was struck by a vehicle, and both left the scene Wednesday night in North Haven.

Residents in the area of Old Orchard Road, Skiff Street, and Crestview Drive are being asked by police to check their home security and doorbell cameras for footage from Tuesday, Oct. 20, between 7:30 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Police said that at about 10:15 p.m., officers responded to a report of an unknown person at the rear door of a home on Old Orchard Road.

“The person ran from the yard onto Skiff Street and headed east,” police wrote in a post on Facebook. “Near Crestview Drive, while crossing Skiff Street, he was struck by a passing vehicle that did not stop. He was last seen running toward backyards on Crestview Drive. Officers, K9 teams, and a drone searched the area but did not find him.”

Police said they are especially interested in video showing:

• A person on foot moving through yards or along Skiff Street or Crestview Drive.
• A vehicle on Skiff Street near Crestview Drive around 10:15 p.m., especially one that may have damage.
• Any unusual activity in the neighborhood earlier that evening.

“The person may be hurt,” police wrote. “If you see someone who looks injured, or find anything unusual in your yard, shed, or vehicle, please call us. Do not approach.”

Anyone with footage is asked to contact Sgt. Marcus Artaiz at 203-239-1618 ext. 281 and reference case number 26-33533.
