East Haven Police are reaching out to the public in hopes of identifying several suspicious men last seen in the area of South End Road.

According to a press release issued by the East Haven Police Department, officers were dispatched to South End Road at 4:52 p.m. on July 15, after receiving reports of a suspicious vehicle in the area.

The complainant told police that a group of men were gathered in the area, and one of the men was wearing a mask while riding on a motorized scooter. The group had been taking photos of the complainant’s daughter and friends in the parking lot of the nearby beach club.

A second complainant attempted to confront the male on the scooter as the man loaded the scooter into a silver van. He then put a temporary New Jersey registration over the van’s license plate. The suspects then fled the area. The van was later discovered abandoned on a side street in New Haven. The suspects were not located and New Haven Police towed the vehicle.

Police are asking anyone with information regarding the identities of the men to call 203-468-3820.
