The Burlington Police Department was notified by Winooski Police Department that officers had located a stolen vehicle that was reported stolen out of Burlington. The recovered vehicle was one of three stolen off a dealership parking lot after the business was burglarized in the early morning of June 9.
Winooski PD responded to Weaver St. for a male passed out behind the wheel. The male was identified as Marlon Taylor, age 28.
