On January 19, 2021 Manchester Police received a report of a stolen motor vehicle. The victim told police he had gone into the Sunoco at 1265 S. Willow St around 3:50 pm. He had left his car running and when he came back out his car was gone. The car, a red Volkswagon GTI was spotted on Merrimack St. A short pursuit followed. On Granite St, the suspect jumped the curb and got onto 293 South.
A short time later the vehicle was spotted on S. Willow St and officers tried to conduct a motor vehicle stop, but the car once again fled.
On January 20, 2021, shortly before 3:00 am, the same car was seen speeding through the city and running red lights. Another pursuit ensued, but due to the driver’s high rate of speed, which at times exceeded 90 mph, there was a concern for public safety and the pursuit was quickly cancelled.
The car was later located behind Burlington Coat Factory by Precourt Park. It was unoccupied, but running. The driver has not been located. If you have any information about these incidents you are asked to call Manchester Police at 603-668-8711.
