Darien Theft of a Motor Vehicle 2025
Police: Man, 19, Stole an Infiniti in New York, Arrested at a Gas Station in Darien
|
Technology in the form of a universal smart key fob aided the theft of a car in New York state, and technology in the form of a license plate reader alerted a police officer who arrested a man and recovered the car in Darien, police said. Police gave this further account, including accusations not proven in court:
On Sunday, April 13, at about 5:40 p.m., the officer saw two vehicles entering the Exxon station at 1358 Post Road (between Darien Library and Exit 11 of Interstate 95). The vehicles appeared to be moving in “an aggressive manner,” according to a police news release. That caught the officer’s attention. What caught it even more was an alert from the license plate reader in the police car.
