Vehicle tied to armed CT carjacking crashes after police attempt to make a stop

Police are looking for three people who took off on foot after officers in Norwich tried pulling over a stolen vehicle believed to be tied to an armed carjacking reported last week in Glastonbury.

The vehicle was spotted on Monday just before 4:10 p.m. when police tried to conduct a motor vehicle stop, according to Sgt. Pete Karasuk of the Norwich Police Department.

Karasuk said the driver took off and lost control of the vehicle shortly thereafter, crashing into a guardrail on Route 2 West just prior to Exit 34. Three people got out of the vehicle and fled on foot into a wooded area.

Officers conducted a track using K-9 units in search of the individuals, receiving assistance from Connecticut State Police and the Montville Police Department, Karasuk said. They could not be located.

According to Karasuk, authorities allegedly found a firearm in the area where the stolen vehicle was abandoned. The car is believed to be tied to an armed carjacking that occurred in Glastonbury last Friday, Karasuk said.

Police are still investigating.
