PARSIPPANY — Multiple Parsippany-Troy Hills Police units responded to 130 New Road for a theft in progress at 4:03 a.m. on Sunday, February 11. Responding officers observed two black males near a Honda Accord in the parking lot.
Once the suspects observed the officers they quickly got into two different vehicles and fled the scene. Officers activated their emergency lights and attempted to stop the vehicles, but they terminated the pursuit on Route 280.
Officers responded back to the parking lot and found that the suspects stole one tire and rim, and had a second removed from the 2017 Honda Accord, but were unable to take it due to officers arriving on scene.
The Morris County Sheriff’s Office CIS responded to the scene to assist the investigation.
