Cedae Hardy, and Landrell Jones, both 18, are facing charges after they were busted by investigators as they attempted to hide inside an outdoor freezer following a police pursuit in the area.
At approximately 11:45 p.m., a police spokesperson says that an officer on patrol in the 100 block of E Street, NW, spotted a white BMW that was believed to be connected to multiple armed carjackings in the region.
