SOUTHBURY, CT — Three men have been arrested for allegedly committing a burglary at a residence in Southbury Tuesday and the suspects ended up crashing their vehicle while leaving the scene and tried to flee on foot, State Police said. Southbury Police responded to a report of a burglary on High Ridge Road around 2 p.m. Tuesday.

A dark colored 4-door Mazda was seen leaving the residence. Police officers Critelli and Flynn spotted a vehicle matching the description southbound on Route 172 and began following the vehicle which was headed to where other Southbury Police as well as State Police officers were waiting, State Police said.
