The incident started on Wednesday, March 22 around 6 p.m., when police in Stamford tried stopping a 2019 Range Rover that was stolen from Florham Park, New Jersey, according to Westchester County Police Spokesman Kieran O'Leary. 

The vehicle then fled from authorities on Interstate 95 and crossed the border into Westchester, where Stamford Police ended their chase. 

From there, the stolen Range Rover then drove onto Interstate 287, where it was spotted by members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Safe Streets Task Force. 

Eventually, the suspects continued southbound onto the Saw Mill River Parkway, where spike strips were successfully deployed by Westchester County Police near the area of Lawrence Street in Greenburgh.

From there, the car still continued to Cliff Street in Hastings-On-Hudson, where it was finally abandoned by both occupants. The two suspects were later taken into custody on Dorchester Ave. around 6:30 p.m., a half-hour after the chase began. 

Both suspects are residents of Newark, New Jersey, and are identified as: 

  • Ibn Foster, age 18;
  • James Riley, age 28.

Both men were charged with second-degree criminal possession of stolen property, according to O'Leary.
