An armed carjacking in Northeast Philadelphia ended in a crash with the stolen car bursting into flames and one suspect still inside.
Police say three males armed with guns approached the driver of a 2015 Dodge Charger and then took off in the vehicle.Within a few minutes, a sergeant on patrol saw a vehicle fitting the description going south on Castor Avenue.
The carjacked vehicle struck the side of a Honda CRV that was going west on Levick Street, causing the CRV to flip onto its side."The stolen car hit the Honda CRV with such force that the right front tire of this Dodge Charger was completely ripped off of the car and struck a parked car on Castor Avenue," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
Two of the three males in the stolen car took off, but police caught them a short distance away in the 1300 block of Sterling Street. "The sergeant, more than likely, saved this individual's life or saved him from getting burned very badly," Small said.Police say one suspect is 23 years old, the other two are in their early 20s.Police say one suspect who fled threw a gun that was recovered. After the fire was extinguished, officers found two more guns in the stolen vehicle, as well as live ammunition.
