According to the Avon Police Department, state troopers were following four vehicles that were reportedly stolen from a Dodge dealer in Amherst. The vehicles scattered when they noticed police following them.
One of the vehicles continued east towards Westlake; one car was found abandoned at Stoney Ridge Road, and another was abandoned on 611 near the I-90 entrance and exit ramps, Avon Police said. Authorities are still looking for the vehicle that drove into Westlake.
