4 juveniles in custody after armed robbery, carjacking and pursuit

Four juveniles appeared in Warren County Juvenile Court for a detention hearing Friday afternoon after being apprehended for allegedly robbing a man at gunpoint in Deerfield Twp., and stealing his car late Monday night.

Warren County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the 4800 block of Bridge Lane about 11:52 p.m. Thursday for a vehicle theft in progress.

Deputies located the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled before crashing on the interstate ramp in West Chester Twp. at Cincinnati-Dayton Road and Interstate 75. The occupants of the vehicle fled the scene.

As deputies searched for the suspects, another vehicle was located and a traffic stop was attempted. The suspects again fled resulting in a lengthy pursuit before being stopped in Middletown. Two juveniles were taken into custody.
