HARTFORD — Two people were arrested following an incident in Hartford yesterday.
Authorities say they were notified of an assault and robbery at the South on 5 Motel on North Hartland Road at around 10:30 a.m.
While officers were responding, they learned that the suspects also attempted to force the victim into a vehicle.

Police say the vehicle was being operated by a man.
The vehicle was identified as a black hatchback SUV with New Hampshire registration 4955759.
Given the serious nature of the incident, the Criminal Investigation Division took over the investigation.
Police identified the woman as April Sanville, and arrested her later that evening.

Wescott was arrested without incident.
