Police chase ends in fiery crash at local Shell station
Comments 0 | Recommend 0Two carjacking suspects are behind bars this morning, accused of leading Sheriff's Deputies on a chase and then crashing into a gas pump in a fiery explosion.
The chase began just before two o'clock this morning in Lake Park. Police say the suspects approached a person driving a Ford Focus and demanded the car.
Police spotted the stolen vehicle in West Palm Beach, where they tried to pull the driver over. The driver took off, crashing into a Shell gas station at the corner of Belvedere Road and Australian Avenue. The car then burst into flames.
The two suspects tried to run from the scene, but were quickly arrested. Leroy Camacho, 19, from Palm Beach Gardens is charged with robbery and carjacking with a firearm. He is currently in St. Mary's Hospital. Jaquesta Ellerbe, an 18-year old woman, was also arrested and charged with robbery and carjacking with a firearm.
The suspects and the carjacking victim received minor injuries.
CBS12 is on the scene and will continue to update this information as it becomes available.
