ROCKY HILL — The Rocky Hill Police Communication Center received a report of multiple vehicle break-ins at the Stepney Place Apartments on Silas Deane Highway on Sunday.
Responding officers located a white sedan in the parking area with one occupant seen breaking into a vehicle.
The suspects fled the scene recklessly when they noticed police presence, driving over a grass area towards Marshall Road.
A pursuit was not initiated as the crimes were deemed property-related.

The Rocky Hill Police Department urges all victims to report to Officer Nathan Thomas at 860-258-2057 or via email at [email protected], or to contact the communication center at 860-258-7640.
The suspects remain unidentified, but police are committed to using technology and resources to solve the crimes.
