State Police Investigating Felony Reckless Endangering Stemming from Pursuit with Stolen Camaro

Date Posted: Monday, August 5th, 2024

The Delaware State Police are investigating a reckless endangering incident stemming from a pursuit with a stolen Camaro that began in Bear on Saturday night.

During the evening hours of August 3, 2024, troopers were conducting proactive enforcement for groups of vehicles participating in speed exhibitions and takeovers in various shopping centers and along highways in New Castle County. During their patrol, troopers conducted a computer inquiry of a black Chevrolet Camaro with New York registration in the parking lot of University Plaza, and discovered the tag was reported as stolen. Upon troopers initiating a traffic stop, the Camaro fled at a high rate of speed and struck an occupied Delaware State Police vehicle. In the ensuing pursuit, the Camaro drove recklessly on several public roadways, during which it struck another occupied Delaware State Police vehicle. The vehicle pursuit ultimately ended in Chester, Pennsylvania, after the Camaro sustained disabling damage to its front tire and the Camaro's occupants fled on foot. Troopers, with the assistance of multiple Pennsylvania law enforcement agencies, searched the area for the suspects, who have not been located at this time.

Following the pursuit, troopers recovered the disabled Camaro and discovered it was reported stolen out of Bridgewater Township Police Department in New Jersey in June 2024. The two troopers struck during the vehicle pursuit were not injured.

There is no suspect(s) description at this time. Surveillance video and images are not yet available.

The Troop 2 Criminal Investigations Unit is still investigating this incident. Investigators are asking for anyone with information regarding this case to contact Sergeant A. Zickgraf by calling 302-365-8403. Information may also be provided by sending a private Facebook message to the Delaware State Police or contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
