Police dogs find four people connected to car theft

SHELTON — Four people were taken into custody in connection with a vehicle theft after police dogs found the suspects in the woods following a short pursuit. When Shelton Police tried to stop a vehicle for a minor violation on Howe Avenue on Sunday, the driver didn’t pull over and instead sped up, according to a statement from Detective Christopher Nugent. A check on the vehicle’s marker plates showed that it was stolen, and police followed the vehicle through Derby and on to Route 8 Southbound. The vehicle eventually pulled over near Exit 13 on Route 8 Northbound and four people were seen running into the woods from the vehicle, according to the statement.
