WHITE PLAINS, Md. – On April 9 at 9:35 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Berry Road and Bonnie Lane where a carjacking suspect was fleeing from Prince George’s County police in the stolen vehicle.
Officers observed the suspect northbound on Indian Head Highway, but the suspect made a U-turn and got back on Berry Road heading eastbound where several officers had stop sticks deployed.
The suspect vehicle struck a set of stop sticks, damaging a tire but the suspect continued fleeing to the area of White Plains where he pulled into a gas station, rammed a police cruiser, backed up and hit another one, and then pulled up and rammed the first cruiser again in an attempt to escape.
