On December 19, 2021 at approximately 4:28 PM, Fairfield Police observed the second stolen vehicle, this time the stolen Toyota Camry, traveling through downtown Fairfield on Post road near Beach Road.

Fairfield Police located and followed the stolen vehicle on I95 northbound from exit 22 to exit 27, at which point police attempted to initiate a traffic stop.

The operator of the stolen vehicle failed to pull over and the vehicle increased its speed in an attempt to elude police.

As the stolen vehicle approached Exit 27A the operator crossed over several lanes of traffic, crashing into another vehicle and ultimately coming to rest as it crashed into a jersey barrier.

The two occupants of the stolen vehicle, both juveniles aged 13 and 16, were taken into custody on scene. The 16 year old sustained minor abrasions to his legs.

There were no other injuries reported on scene.
