From Cecil Whig:

Two men who allegedly committed a strong-arm robbery in Newark on Tuesday night led police on a high-speed chase into Cecil County, according to Maryland State Police.

That chase led to a pair of crashes in Cecil County – one involving an unmarked police car from Delaware and the other involving a pick-up truck used by the alleged robbers.

According to police, the men ran from a Chevrolet Silverado after ramming it into a tree off of Providence Road, just south of Ed Moore Road, west of the Fair Hill Natural Resource Management Area.
Troopers in a Maryland State Police helicopter searched from above while police from Newark, New Castle County and the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office tried to track down the suspects on the ground.

However, both men were still at large as of 11 p.m., police said.

The collision involving the pick-up truck reportedly followed a single-car crash on Kirk’s Mill Road involving an unmarked police cruiser.

A spokesman for the Newark Police Department could not be reached Tuesday night and no further information was available regarding what led to the police chase or the condition of officers involved in the crash.

According to local police, the Chevrolet Silverado driven by the wanted men had been identified in an unauthorized use of vehicle complaint that a Perryville resident made to police sometime before Tuesday night’s chase.

An unauthorized use charge applies when a person receives permission to borrow a vehicle, but keeps it longer than the agreed length of time or drives it places other than those agreed upon.
