Three men were arrested after allegedly crashing into several police cars while trying to flee the Westfield Trumbull Mall in a stolen car, according to police.
The incident happened Monday afternoon. Detectives initially located the stolen car, which they determined was from Yonkers, New York, in the mall parking lot. Trumbull police then set up surveillance on the vehicle.
Officials said one of the individuals fled in a stolen Audi while two others were taken into custody in the mall s parking lot.
The man who fled, 23-year-old Dominique Reid, drove recklessly through the mall property, eventually leaving by driving the wrong way out the entrance ramp. He then got onto the Merritt Parkway but as he merged, he turned the car and drove in the opposite direction of traffic, according to police.

Many were excited the trucks were back after being canceled last year because of the pandemic.
“There is a huge financial impact to all of the trucks. You know, most of the trucks here are small businesses so they rely on every event. And this is the busiest event of the year for most of them. So losing this last year was huge,” said Jillian Perez of Connecticut Specialty Events.
This year, the trucks were spaced out more to allow for social distancing.
Some festival-goers traveled from neighboring states just to take part.
“Just something to do. It’s kind of limited the stuff to do. And this is one option to actually come out here and give it a try and spend time with the family,” said Hector Delgado of Springfield, Mass.
