Investigators say a couple wanted for multiple robberies on the east coast were captured Monday following a police chase on I-95, NBC10 reports.
Shortly after noon, Jennifer Carrier, 37, and her husband Joseph Carrier, 37, robbed a Citizens Bank on the 1600 block of Marsh Road in Wilmington, Del., police said. They fled the scene in a brown Buick Encore.
Delaware State police officers began to pursue the couple on I-95 north, where Pennsylvania State Police officers soon joined.
The suspects came to a stop after crashing into several vehicles along I-95 in Upper Chichester near Philadelphia International Airport. Officials say they were taken into custody, along with their allegedly stolen vehicle, by Delaware State Police officers and the FBI before being transported back to Delaware.
Ludlow Detective Sgt. Louis Tulik told NBC 22News the suspects were “dopesick from heroin” and “committing robberies to feed a habit.” Police also told 22News the couple was homeless and traveling with seven tiny Brussels Griffon dogs – five of them 1-year-old puppies.
According to police, the Carriers were wanted for multiple robberies in four different states.
The specific charges have not yet been revealed.
