At 4:40 a.m., police officers spotted a gray Honda Civic with tinted windows and no front license plate at the Exxon gas station on the 397 Springfield Ave., Newark Public Safety Director Eugene Miranda said.

The officers checked the rear plate, P97NUW, and discovered it was fictitious as the suspect drove from the gas station, Miranda said.

When the suspect reached West Kinney Street and Morris Avenue, the officers attempted a motor vehicle stop with lights and sirens activated, Miranda said. The suspect did not stop and drove away eastbound on West Kinney Street, then southbound on Irvine Turner Boulevard, Miranda said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact 1-877-695-8477.
