2 men arrested in Milford after stealing car from hotel

MILFORD — Two men were arrested Wednesday after allegedly stealing a car from a Holiday Inn Express in Milford.

The Milford Public Safety Communications Center received an emergency call at 7:23 a.m. reporting a stolen vehicle from the hotel located at 50 Fortune Blvd.

The caller told communications personnel that he had started his vehicle to warm it and while heading back into the hotel, noticed two white males acting suspiciously in the area.

Milford Police Detectives and patrol units conducted a search of the area but did not find the stolen vehicle.

A review of hotel CCTV footage showed the suspects entering and stealing the vehicle at 7:17 a.m.

In checking additional video evidence, detectives discovered the two suspects were transported to the hotel by a Hopkinton Police Department marked unit prior to the theft.

After communicating with Hopkinton Police, MPD Detectives identified the two males as Anthony Carter, 46, of Wichita, Kansas and Christopher Carter, 40, of Cleveland, North Carolina.

Hopkinton Police advised MPD Detectives that the two were criminally summonsed in their town for driving a vehicle with stolen plates attached, before being courtesy transported to the Milford hotel where the crime occurred.

At 3 p.m., through use of multi-agency, crime-tracking technology, the suspects were apprehended by Westchester County Police Department while driving the stolen Honda Accord.

Both suspects are charged with larceny of a motor vehicle, receiving stolen property over $1,200, and four counts of conspiracy.

Police believe the suspects may be tied to another vehicle larceny in the area.
