On Wednesday, July 10, 2019 at approximately 3am, Officer Justin Eddy observed an occupied suspicious vehicle in a neighborhood off of West Avenue, and through investigation, learned that the vehicle was stolen.
Officer Eddy initiated a Motor Vehicle stop on the car and as he approached, six juveniles (13y/o, 13y/o, 14y/o, 14y/o, 15y/o, 15y/o, from Hamden and New Haven) fled on foot through backyards in the Innsbruck Street area.
A perimeter was established and, utilizing MPD K9 Diesel, all six were tracked down and taken into custody without incident. Milford, as well as other surrounding communities, has experienced a rash of unlocked vehicles being gone through and stolen during the overnight hours.
Milford Police Department urges residents to please lock your vehicles and bring your valuables inside at night.
Together, we can help reduce crime!
