Police car at the scene of a criminal related incident

PHILADELPHIA, PA — A carjacking early Tuesday morning led to a high-speed chase and a crash in Southwest Philadelphia. The incident began around 5:12 a.m. on the 6700 block of Woodland Avenue, where a male victim was approached by three armed individuals demanding he exit his champagne-colored 2017 Nissan Sentra.

The vehicle was last seen making a right turn onto 68th and Woodland Avenue, according to the victim. Shortly after the carjacking, officers from the 12th District located the vehicle near Cobbs Creek Parkway and Cedar Avenue, prompting a pursuit.

The chase ended when the stolen vehicle crashed into a vacant property on the 300 block of North Horton Street. The three suspects fled the scene on foot, and no arrests have been made.

The suspects are described as young Black males dressed in black hooded sweatshirts and black pants. While no injuries have been reported, there may be structural damage to the property involved in the crash.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident to contact the Southwest Detective Division at 215-686-3183 or to provide tips anonymously via the PPD’s tipline at 215-686-TIPS (8477).
