Authorities announced the arrest of a 39-year-old man who police say led them on a chase down Route 21 his morning.
According to authorities, Kearny detectives used predictive analytics to gathered information on the behaviors of a man wanted for robbing the Schuyler Savings Bank recently.
After geo-mapping the suspect's recent activities, detectives set up surveillance on Route 21 believing there was a likelihood that the suspect would travel this corridor en-route to his next crime.
This morning, two detectives spotted the alleged bank robber in traffic driving the same car that was used to drag a police officer as they attempted to arrest him during his flight from the Schuyler Savings robbery.
The detectives attempted to get the suspect surrounded before turning on their lights and siren, but unfortunately, he accelerated attempting to flee, ultimately flipping the car.
According to police, no bystanders were involved in the crash and the suspect was not seriously injured.
Detectives arrested James P. Lockwood, a 39-year-old and charged him with robbery among other charges.
