Theft of Tires from Port Chester Shop Interrupted

A set of four tires and alloy rims were recovered by Port Chester Police before thieves could get away with the items taken from a Port Chester auto shop.

Police said they received a report of a possible theft of tires at about 2:49 a.m. Wednesday at Greenwich Automotive, 11 Hillside Ave. When village officers arrived, they found the tires and rims hidden in bushes near the shop.

Police contacted owners of the shop, who told them that the tires and rims had been stored outside just outside of the shop during the previous day.

The tires and rims were taken to Port Chester Police Headquarters on North Main Street for safe keeping.

No one has been charged in connection with the theft of the tires and rims.
