Rocky Hill Residents Urged to Secure Cars After Attempted Car Theft Caught on Camera

Rocky Hill Police are still searching for a group of young men who officers say tried stealing a car in front of someone’s home Monday evening.

The victim was caught on camera fighting back at the would-be burglars.

A homeowner appears to struggle with a young man who police say was trying to steal the red car in his driveway. Authorities say the happened Monday just after 7 p.m. on Valley View Drive.

“It’s so close to home. It’s really frustrating,” a neighbor said.

A group of people then appear to assault the homeowner after running out of a black Mercedes sedan.

“Thank God that he wasn’t seriously hurt. We’re seeing a lot of these incidents throughout the state and the country that people are intervening, and the suspect may have a weapon,” Rocky Hill Police Sgt. Jeffrey Foss-Rugan said. ---More...
