VERGENNES — Vergennes police last week dealt with a case of a stolen car and an allegation of a sexual assault, both involving a former couple.  

Earlier in November, a city resident told Vergennes police he’d let his ex-girlfriend use his car, but she was refusing to return it. On Nov. 15, he informed police she’d still not returned the vehicle, and police thenagreed to report the car as stolen.

On Nov. 19, South Burlington police pulled the vehicle over for a traffic infraction, and impounded it when they learned it’d been reported stolen. Vergennes police said the city resident was then able to recover the car.

Later on Nov. 19, Vergennes police said the woman involved called them and alleged the man had sexually assaulted her while they were still living together. Vergennes police this week said the allegation remains under investigation.
