On July 2o officers identified a stolen silver Toyota Camry traveling south in the 9900 block of Ferguson. According to a report, police say the vehicle was stolen during a robbery in Northeast Dallas and has “been used in multiple robberies throughout the metroplex over several days.”

Officers from the Dallas Police Deployment Unit followed the vehicle until members of the Crime Response Team arrived. The vehicle attempted to elude officers before it was abandoned in the 8100 block of Claremont. At that time two occupants were apprehended while the driver was tracked to a duplex in the 8200 block of Ferguson. After a search of the area two additional robbery suspects were apprehended.

Police arrested five suspects: Rashid Jones, 18, Jameian Glaspie, 19, Tavion Williams, 18, and two females whose names have not yet been released.
