Charges were filed last week against two men responsible for a carjacking and robbery that led Newport News and Norfolk, VA police on a chase through several cities. The pursuit started in Newport News and ended when the suspects crashed their stolen car into a tree in Norfolk.
It all began when police received report of a carjacking in Newport News at the same time they were responding to a robbery at a 7-Eleven and an attempted robbery of an individual in a credit union parking lot. Police investigating the robbery reports saw men matching the description of the carjacking perpetrators drive by, and a chase ensued.
Once the suspects crashed the stolen vehicle police arrested Norfolk residents Patrick Couch, 19, and Gregory Walker, 25, who were later charged with 23 felonies.
According to a police spokesperson, Couch was charged with one count robbery, one count attempted robbery, one count carjacking, three counts conspiracy to commit robbery, three counts wearing a mask in public, three counts using a firearm in the commission of a felony, and one count discharging a firearm within a building.
Walker was charged with one count robbery, one count attempted robbery, three counts conspiracy to commit robbery, three counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and one count of discharging a firearm within a building.
Both men are being held without bail.
