DELAWARE COUNTY, Pa. (YC) – A stolen car drove through Ridley Twp., Delaware County on Sunday, leading police on a high speed chase.

According to Transit Police, a SEPTA employee was allegedly carjacked of his personal vehicle at 4th & Spring Garden in Philadelphia last night at knifepoint.

The suspect then committed an armed robbery early Sunday afternoon in New Jersey where police gave chase.

After successfully evading the police on his first pursuit, the vehicle wound up in Ridley Twp., prompting the involvement of various Delaware County police departments.
