Naugatuck, Conn./WTIC Radio - Detectives have made an arrest in a case of illegal dumping in Naugatuck and are seeking a second suspect.

Police say the investigation started late last month when a witness reported the suspects dumping about 100 tires from a U-Haul truck on to a commercial property at 397 Prospect Street.
