Officers found that someone had entered the rear lot and put a jak underneath a 2013 MazdaSpeed3 sports car and stolen the wheels and tires, Smith said.

That model of the car "is unique in that there are minimal models in the state of Connecticut," Smith said. The wheels will fit on a Mazda 3 base car, he said, and the stolen tires and rims are worth about $2,500.
