The vehicle was recovered on Mill Plain Road and the department was able to locate it based on information from a "concerned citizen."
The vehicle reportedly belonged to a Meriden person who was bound and gagged, along with three other people, in their apartment on Gravel Street late Thursday evening. Police said four male suspects are behind the crime.
The four men then took two of the residents of the apartment, who were employees at Lenox, to the Fairfield jewelry store where they proceeded to burglarize the place and make off with $4 million in merchandise.
"The vehicle is currently in the custody of the Fairfield Police Department and is being processed for evidence with the assistance of the Connecticut State Police Major Crime Squad," Lussier said. "This incident remains under investigation and involves the coordinated efforts of several law enforcement agencies including the United States Attorney’s office."
