Pennsylvania State Police troopers are looking for two men in connection with a robbery attempt in Chadds Ford that led to the property owner being dragged, then thrown from the suspects’ getaway car.
The police said the 32-year-old homeowner was walking into his garage on Bellefair Lane when he saw one of the suspects rummaging through some cars. The suspect ran when he saw the homeowner who ran after the suspect. It was then the owner saw the Mercedes in the driveway.
The homeowner ran toward the car, reaching inside and grabbing at the driver through the open window. At that point, the driver put the car in gear to flee the scene, police said, with the homeowner partly inside the car holding onto the driver.
Police said the homeowner was dragged then thrown to the front yard of the home receiving minor injuries.
The Mercedes drove over a large bush on the victim’s yard and two of the front lights on the car were broken. By this time, the man who had been in the garage was able to get into the fleeing Mercedes and the car sped away heading towards route 202.
According to police, the incident happened Wednesday, May 6, about 6:20 p.m.
Both suspects are described as while males in their late teens or early 20s. One is further described as being thin, 5’10” to 6’ tall with light brown, curly hair. The second suspect, the driver of the car, is said to have dark, curly hair. Police said the car was a newer model Mercedes sedan, black in color, described as having round headlights, and probably having undercarriage damage and possible damage to the driver side. There were also broken lights on the front.
No property was taken, but the suspects are considered dangerous, police said. Anyone who may have information or who knows the identity of these two individuals is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police Media station, 484-840-1000.
Police provided a composite sketch of one of the suspects.
