MAPLEWOOD, Mo. — One 15-year-old suspect is in custody and two are still on the loose after police said they approached a woman in an Aldi parking lot Friday afternoon and took her car, later dumping it in University City.
The carjacking happened at about 4:15 p.m. at the Aldi on 7723 Manchester Road in Maplewood. The suspects were armed. The woman was not hurt.
Maplewood Police Department Chief Steve Kruse said that the car was equipped with Onstar, which police used to track it to University City.
Three suspects abandoned the car after University City Police Department spotted them, and a foot chase ensued.
The 15-year-old suspect was detained and is now being held at the St. Louis County Juvenile Detection Center. The other two suspects have been identified, but police are still looking for them.
