Police: Man Drove Stolen Vehicle to Dealer, Then Stole Second Vehicle He Took for Test Drive

East Windsor police have arrested a 20-year-old man in connection with the theft of two vehicles on the strength of an anonymous tip called in over the weekend.

Police took Aric Myers into custody on June 6 and charged him with two counts of third-degree larceny – auto theft and two counts of theft of a number plate.

Police said Myers’ charges stem from an incident on April 6 in which he drove a stolen vehicle to Toro Auto Group, 52 South Main Street, and then stole a second vehicle he took out for a test drive from the dealership.

An arrest warrant was prepared for Myers in April after the investigation identified Myers as the suspect.

Police said Myers’ whereabouts was unknown but an anonymous tip was called into the police department over the weekend and officers were able to locate and arrest Myers without incident.

Myers was held on a $50,000 surety bond and was scheduled to be arraigned at Enfield Superior Court on Monday.
