Officer suffers minor injuries during arrest
MAYWOOD -- A group believed to have stolen delivered parcels from the fronts of homes Tuesday led police on a chase before most of them were caught, NorthJersey.com reported.
Police quickly spotted an SUV matching a description of the vehicle used by the suspects, who were allegedly seen snatching up packages on Thoma Avenue around 5 p.m.
Police pursued them on side streets before breaking off the chase but later caught up with the vehicle as it turned on to railroad tracks, where the occupants abandoned it and ran. Three of the suspects, whose names were not released, were captured, while a search was underway Tuesday night for a fourth.
One of the suspects tried to physically shove a police officer while the officer was subduing another suspect, Maywood police said. That officer, Brian Rubio, sustained minor injuries.
