Pre-Dawn K9 Search Yields Juvenile Arrest in New Canaan
|
New Canaan police arrested a 17-year-old Stamford man following a pre-dawn search Tuesday that included officers and K9 dogs from Norwalk and Stamford, officials say. It started at about 12:10 a.m. when New Canaan police officer Rex Sprosta spotted a motorist driving erratically on Jelliff Mill Road near Ponus Ridge, according to Police Chief Leon Krolikowski. The car would turn north on Ponus and, after pulling onto Clearview Lane, come to an abrupt stop “and the occupants fled the vehicle,” Krolikowski said in a press release. “The New York registered vehicle was found to be stolen from Stamford. Subsequently, an intensive search of the area began.”
After about 30 minutes, the juvenile was found (by Stamford K9 dog Bobi) hiding under a porch, the chief said.
