An Update From Chief Carrington on Recent Local Car Break-ins

On 5-28-23 at approximately 4:45 am, Tollad PD was advised by Granville PD through Berkshire County dispatch that they had several car breaks over night and they felt those responsible were still in the area. Tolland's Chief went out on patrol. By 5:15 a call came in of a car break in Wildwood, followed by several more. A vehicle description of a black BMW with CT plates was put out. Thanks to a morning jogger seeing the car and calling it in, PD was able to locate the car on Burt Hill RD. The car refused to stop as it was pursued Rt 8 in Sandisfield. The car then continued into Ct. As of 5:00 pm there was a total of 16 reported cars entered: 14 in Wildwood and 2 on Burt Hill RD.
Tolland PD urges all homeowners to not leave valuables in cars and to keep cars and homes locked.
