1:40pm–#Fairfield CT–#Bridgeport CT– A woman was walking to her car, a Mitsubishi SUV that was parked at Planet Fitness at 111 Black Rock Turnpike.  She saw it being driven away when she screamed it was being stolen.  A person already in their vehicle in the parking lot began following the stolen SUV.  The suspect possibly not knowing he was being followed went down Fairfield Avenue to Wordin Avenue and Stephen’s Lane when Bridgeport Police attempted to pull the vehicle over.  The driver took off taking officers into PT Barnum Housing. The car turned into one of the drives when his car was blocked by a Bridgeport Police car near building 21 at Anthony Street.  A foot pursuit ensued and police captured him near building 19.  Yesterday, Fairfield Police tracked and recovered two stolen bicycles from suspect living at PT Barnum.
