Orlando Rodriguez, 21, of Anthony Street, Bridgeport, was charged with second-degree criminal trespass, interfering with police and criminal liabilities for the acts of another. He was held on $20,000 bond for a later court appearance.
Fairfield Police Department Deputy Chief Chris Lyddy said the Scap Auto Group dealership on Commerce Drive has been hit by thieves in the past. An officer on patrol around 1:15 a.m. noticed a vehicle parked in the wrong direction at the dealership and investigated.
Three suspects ran from the scene and after calling in the K-9 unit one suspect found was hiding in bushes about 100 yards away from the dealership, Lyddy said. The suspect allegedly admitted they were there to steal rims and tires from vehicles.
Police are still investigating.
