Don’t leave your car running in your driveway. Lock your cars and homes. Be cognizant of your surroundings.
Those are 3 takeaways, following yesterday’s theft of a 2020 Bentley.
Just before 3 p.m., Westport Police say, a resident pulled into his driveway and went indoors, leaving the vehicle running.
While inside, he “witnessed unknown suspects steal his car.”
He called police. Officers saw the car traveling at a high rate of speed, but did not pursue.
A tracking device led to recovery of the vehicle in Elmhurst, New York, by the New York Police Department. They also arrested 2 people in a different stolen vehicle, traveling with the Bentley.
Westport Police say: “This incident comes on the heels of (last week’s) burglary near Compo Beach. Although not confirmed, Westport PD has a working theory that the victim in this case may have been followed due to the value of his vehicle.”
