One of the officers observed a black Honda Accord bearing CT registration 393ENH being driven in the area. The officer initiated her lights and sirens in an attempt to stop the vehicle on South Colony Road, but, the operator failed to stop.

The operator then accelerated and engaged the officer in a short pursuit that was terminated due to the speed of the fleeing vehicle.

Bradley said the vehicle was last seen entering the Wharton Brook Connector, which is the entrance ramp for 91 North and South.

A subsequent check on the registration plate revealed that the 2001 Honda Accord was reported stolen out of North Haven on October 25, 2015, according to Bradley.
