Multiple agencies searching for Simsbury burglary suspects

One person is in custody and two others are on the loose after multiple police agencies tracked suspects believed to be involved in a Simsbury burglary into Canton on Sunday evening.

The lone unidentified suspect who was apprehended was taken into custody following a foot chase with a Canton police officer, according to the Canton Police Department. Officers from Canton and Connecticut State Police troopers who used a K-9 team were contacted for help tracking multiple suspects in connection with a Simsbury burglary at about 2:38 p.m., state police said.

The suspects were tracked to Gracey Road in Canto, in the area between Red Fox Run and Albany Turnpike, Canton police said. A vehicle believed to have been used by the suspects was found behind a home under construction, at which point a Canton officer chased after the fleeing suspects on foot.

According to Canton police, one suspect was taken into custody, while two others could not be found following an extensive search. Though police said they have no reason to believe the suspects would still be in the area of Gracey Road, they encouraged any residents who see something suspicious to contact authorities. They urged residents not to approach the suspects if spotted.
