Milford police said they’re looking for three purse snatchers who fled officers in a stolen car Thursday.
Wearing facial masks and hoods, the thieves grabbed purses from two shoppers in the Connecticut Post Mall shortly before 11 a.m., police said Friday. Officers saw them leave the mall in a red Toyota Corolla and followed it onto I-95 north and then I-91.
State troopers were among those who joined in the chase, which ended about 12 miles later when the car got off the highway in New Haven. Police lost sight of the Toyota, which they learned had been stolen from its owner in Hamden, Officer Michael DeVito said.
