The vehicle information was shared with surrounding law enforcement agencies and Bridgeport Police Department Auto Theft Task Force located the vehicle in Bridgeport.
The vehicle was stopped and the occupants were identified as Langston and Bolton. The victim identified Langston and Bolton as two of the individuals that robbed him in Shelton.
The investigation is ongoing with additional arrests expected.
