Auto Theft
Telephone #: 867-6174

In 1995, a Regional Auto Theft Task Force for the Greater New Haven area was reestablished under the supervision of the Connecticut State Police. New Haven has contributed to this effort by supplying two police officers to participate as members of the task force. Because the crime of auto theft knows no municipal boundary, the cooperation between state and local law enforcement has been essential in the success of the task force. Ongoing cooperation and involvement with our department's truancy initiatives has helped to greatly reduce the incidence of auto theft over the past few years. The task force continues to work on a variety of cases including unlicensed garages, insurance fraud, the theft of new vehicles from dealerships, and other related cases of vehicle theft and vehicle identification number alteration.
