Shelton police arrested two men after linking several reports of a suspicious vehicle in the area of Waverly and Sorghum roads and a burglary at a home, police said.
On Tuesday, police received several calls about car in the Shelton neighborhood on Tuesday and two men knocking on doors, so they investigated but the car fled.
When police again responded, they found the car behind a home on September Lane in Shelton, police said, but the people had fled.
The suspects, identified as Emanuel Ranger, 23, and Allen Young, 20, were found in a backyard on Nichols Avenue and took them into custody, police said.
Ranger owns the car residents reported and was driving it without registration or insurance, police said. He also has a suspended license.
He was charged with engaging police in a pursuit and interfering with an officer.
Young was detained during the investigation.
