It was just after 1:30 AM today, when police said a Huyndai was stolen from the 2200 block of Glenview St. Police now believe that another vehicle, possibly as Volkeswagon was following the stolen car,operated by the car thief partner. As the car reached the area of Rising Sun and Martins Mill Road, the it smashed into a Toyota minivan, briefly trapping the driver.
That mini van then plowed into a SEPTA bus that was occupied by several passengers. The bus then smashed into a bank. The passengers on the bus left before police got there. While this was happening, someone then reached into the back of the mini van and stole something. Police think it could have been money.
The driver of the stolen car jumped into the trailing VW and fled the scene. However, the duo left their partner behind, who was a front seat passenger in the stolen car. He was seriously hurt, police said.
While it is early in the investigation, police think the VW occupants could be involved in several robberies this year. Detectives spent the day combing the area for security cameras. L&I examined the bank and found it structurally sound.
