A carjacking suspect was taken into custody after fleeing from officers and crashing in Fort Lauderdale on Friday morning, authorities said.
The incident happened just before 8 a.m. when officers spotted a vehicle that matched the description of a vehicle involved in a carjacking in Plantation, Fort Lauderdale Police officials said.
Officers tried to stop the car but the driver fled and eventually crashed into a fence at 660 Long Island Avenue, police said.
The suspect bailed out of the vehicle and tried to flee but was taken into custody with the help of a K9, officials said.
Police haven’t released the suspect’s identity or said what charges they face.
There were no injuries but the fence and a parked car were damaged in the incident, officials said.
