BARNSTABLE, Mass. — After an overnight search, authorities arrested a man in connection with stealing a car and fleeing from a hit-and-run in Barnstable.

According to Barnstable police, reports came in around 10:40 PM on Saturday for a stolen vehicle from a Domino’s in Marston’s Mills. An officer in Hyannis spotted the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop; however, the driver did not stop.

A pursuit began of the stolen vehicle, with assistance from the State Police, on Route 6 in Barnstable.
