Carjacker takes police on wild chase
January 10, 2009

Police said the man carjacked a family with two small kids on Irvington and took off.  The suspect didn’t hurt the family, but he did take the police on a chase.

He ended up slamming into a shopping center. But in doing so, he hit a gas pipeline, causing gas to leak out. 

All the restaurants in the strip center had to be evacuated.

The gas was eventually turned off and the man was arrested.
