STAMFORD — Stamford Police Department’s Squad “B” patrol officers responded to a hit-and-run accident yesterday involving a vehicle and a scooter at the McDonald’s located at 1103 East Main Street.
Witnesses at the scene described the vehicle as a BMW sedan, which reportedly fled the accident site heading west on East Main Street.
Police officers utilized surveillance footage to track the vehicle’s route and conducted a thorough search of the surrounding area.
The search culminated at the rear parking lot of 821 East Main Street, where officers found a silver BMW with damage that matched the witness reports.
Inside the car, officers discovered the driver, Jarrell Grant, born on Aug. 20, 2003, seated at the wheel.
A subsequent vehicle inventory check revealed a Springfield XDs 9MM semi-automatic handgun with seven rounds in the magazine and one round in the chamber on the driver’s side floor.
