INDIANAPOLIS — A minor was arrested after reportedly committing an armed carjacking, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department North District.
The male suspect was arrested for the following:
- Armed Carjacking, a Level 3 Felony
- Auto Theft, a Level 6 Felony
- Resisting Law Enforcement, a Misdemeanor
- Refusal to Identify, a Misdemeanor
Officers with IMPD were dispatched on Saturday at around 12:30 a.m. to the 3000 block of N. Illinois St. on a report of an armed carjacking. Upon arrival, crews located a victim who stated three masked individuals approached him, pointed a firearm, and said “give me the keys.” The suspects then entered the victim’s Dodge Journey and fled the area.
At approximately 12:45 a.m., authorities found the Dodge going northbound near the intersection of 30th and Sherman. Law enforcement attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver allegedly refused to stop, and the vehicle pursuit ensued.
The driver crashed a short time later in the 3800 block of Harvest Ave., and the three occupants ran. One suspect was apprehended with the assistance of a K9 and police drones.
The other two suspects were not located.
IMPD Robbery Detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the two additional suspects. Anyone with information can contact Detective Todd Lappin directly at [email protected] or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 317-262-TIPS.
