MANCHESTER, Conn. — Police are looking for suspects involved in a car theft that happened over the weekend in the area of Hillcrest Road. 

Around 5 p.m. on Saturday, police responded to Hillcrest Road on calls of a car being stolen. Witnesses saw the theft and said that one of the suspects had a gun. Police said the suspects arrived in a silver SUV with Massachusetts plates and saw the car driving away "erratically at a high rate of speed." 

The SUV drove northbound on South Main Street and police said it was followed by a white Acura TL, which was the car stolen from Hillcrest. Both cars drive westbound on I-384 but were not pursued by police.
