A York County teen wanted for an April carjacking and police chase in Berks County was arrested Thursday by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, according to a news release.
Police in Cumru Township, Berks County, said Vincent Kevin Fenner Jr., 17, of York County had been wanted for the April 15 incident.
Cumru Township Police had received a report of a carjacking at Supreme Cleaners, a business in the 1600 block of Lancaster Avenue in Berks County, according to a news release.
A male victim, an employee at Supreme Cleaners, was leaving work when he got into his car and was approached by a Hispanic woman accompanied by Fenner.
The woman asked the victim if she could use a cellphone and Fenner displayed a handgun, police said.
Fenner threatened to kill the man if he did not step out of his vehicle and hand it over to them, the release states.
When the man got out of the car, police said, he was told to run, which he did, and was not hurt.
About an hour later, police said, Fenner was seen driving erratically on Route 30 near Route 283 in Manheim Township, Lancaster County.
A state trooper tried to stop Fenner, who led police on a chase until he crashed and then ran on foot, according to the news release.
Police searched the area, but could not find Fenner. Police added that the woman was not with Fenner at the time of the chase.
A warrant was issued for Fenner's arrest on May 31 by Cumru Township Police.
Police arrested Fenner Thursday and are charging him as an adult with robbery of a motor vehicle, theft, possession of a firearm and other charges.
Fenner is in Berks County Prison in lieu of $100,000 bail.
