The East Haven Police Department is investigating several occurrences in which an unidentified suspect operating a newer white Ford F-150 entered the McDermott Chevrolet parking lot and stole all four rims and tires from several vehicles.

On Nov. 23, officers were dispatched to McDermott Chevrolet, 655 Main Street, for a theft complaint. Upon officer’s arrival, it was determined that all four rims and tires were stolen off of three vehicles, which were left propped up on milk crates. Video surveillance shows an unidentified male wearing a black hoodie, black sweatpants, and black mask pulling up next to or near the vehicles before propping them up and stealing all four tires. In both instances, the suspect, who appears to be alone, enters and exits the parking lot from Frontage Road.

In the earlier incident, which occurred on Oct. 16, the same vehicle is seen entering the McDermott parking lot before stealing all four tires from a Chevrolet truck.

Anyone with information leading to the arrest of the suspect pictured is urged to contact us at 203-468-3820 or they can message us on our East Haven Police Department Facebook page.

McDermott Chevrolet has announced a $500 reward leading to the arrest of the suspect.
