4 Teens Found In Car Stolen From Southbury Arrested: Shelton Police

SOUTHBURY, CT — Four teens found in a car reported stolen from Southbury were recently arrested after a brief chase in Shelton, according to police.

In a news release, Shelton Police Det. Richard Bango said officers noticed a Subaru Legacy pass them on Center Street on June 30.

One of the officers recognized the Subaru as having been recently reported stolen from Southbury and relayed the information to nearby police, who located the car on Shelton Avenue. When officers tried to stop the car, the driver fled on Nells Rock Road, Bango said.

When officers found the Subaru disabled on the side of the road a short time later, the driver fled on foot. Officers also found three teens inside the vehicle, according to Bango.

Evan Cummings, 19, of Hamden, as well as a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, both also of Hamden, were arrested on charges of larceny of a motor vehicle, Bango said.

Cummings was released on a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date. The two juveniles were each released on promises to appear in juvenile court, according to Bango.

After further investigation, police determined the person who fled the scene was a 17-year-old Hamden resident, who was later also charged with larceny of a motor vehicle. He was released to his parents on a promise to appear in court, according to Bango.
