NORTH ST. LOUIS COUNTY – A suspect is in custody after police said he robbed a woman at knifepoint, stole her car and led police on a chase Wednesday afternoon.

St. Louis County Police said the suspect used a large knife to threaten a 47-year-old woman on the 11000 Dunklin Drive before stealing her car and fleeing the scene.

Later that day, police saw a car matching the description near West Florissant Avenue and Chambers Road. When officers attempted to pull the car over, the car fled.

The chase ended when the driver of the car attempted to turn onto northbound Jennings Station Road, but lost control of the car. The car ran into a restaurant on West Florissant, which resulted in brick damage and a gas leak.

No one was injured in the incident, and the investigation is ongoing.
