PLYMOUTH, Conn. — Officers are investigating an ongoing incident on South Main Street near Lane Hill Thursday evening.
A crash involving a stolen vehicle occurred shortly after 5 p.m. and two suspects fled the scene into the woods.
The car, a 2020 BMW X5, was stolen out of Madison, according to officials on scene. It is believed the suspects were both males.
Police searched the area with assistance from a Waterbury Police Department K-9, but believe the suspects were able to elude search teams and escape the perimeter.
The search was called off after several hours due to the weather and lighting conditions.
Officials told FOX61 that local residents are not believed to be in danger, but are still urged to remain indoors at this time.
If you see a suspicious person/persons, do not confront them. Call 911 to report instead. Extra patrols will be conducted in this area throughout the night.
A suspect is described as a tall, thin male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt. A description was not available for the other suspect.
