BREAKING: A New London man has been found guilty on multiple charges related to a dramatic carjacking incident that occurred in 2023. 32-year-old Victor Hall was convicted on January 12, 2024, of first-degree robbery, third-degree robbery, second-degree larceny, larceny of a motor vehicle, and criminal possession of a firearm, according to the Connecticut Division of Criminal Justice.

The jury’s decision comes as a significant development in a case that began on March 10, 2023, when officers from the New London Police Department responded to a report of a carjacking.
