Three people were arrested after a police chase on I-95 that began in Westport Saturday.
Westport police said the chase started with a shoplifting incident at the CVS Pharmacy on Post Road in Westport around 1:15 a.m.
Westport officers gave chase to a silver minivan that fled the scene with three suspects inside. The minivan hopped on I-95 south and police broke off the chase at exit 17.
The minivan got off and back on the highway at exit 15, this time pursued by Connecticut State Police. Troopers eventually ended the chase by using spike strikes on the highway between exits 24 and 25. Two of the suspects were arrested then. A third fled on foot but was caught a short time later.
The suspects – two males and one female -have not been identified. They all face charges of sixth-degree larceny and sixth-degree conspiracy to commit larceny. The driver also faces various motor vehicle violations.
All suspects were held on bond and are currently scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 5.
