West Hartford Police are searching for an armed man who they said tried to break into and steal cars on Monday.
Officials said the man was seen on surveillance video in the Berkshire Road area. The video shows a person pulling at door handles of multiple cars parked in a driveway while holding what appears to be a gun.
None of the cars were entered, there was no damage and no one was injured, according to police.
The person, described as a man wearing a navy blue Champion hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, got into the driver's seat of a black SUV and left the scene before police arrived, authorities said.
