At least three suspects who fled the scene after crashing a stolen pickup truck into a fence in the Wedgewood neighborhood Tuesday night remain at large and the investigation is ongoing, Hatfield Police confirmed Wednesday.


Police said a white 2014 Ford F-150 was reported stolen from Lansdale Borough Tuesday night; it ended up through a split-rail fence and in the backyard of 1293 Wedgewood Drive after the driver lost control.

Two individuals then fled from the truck east down an alley in the neighborhood, which spans Lansdale Borough and Hatfield Township. The neighborhood has an entrance from Schwab Road and another from Moyer Road.

Prior to the crash, a third individual bailed out of the pickup truck, before tumbling over into the street. The individual then stands up and runs down a sidewalk. The suspect was dressed in a black shirt with white writining and black pants, according to security footage.


    



Police said the truck was not involved in a high-speed pursuit prior to the crash.

Video surveillance from a home security camera captured the truck speeding around a sharp corner, as an individual in a black shirt and pants bails out of the car onto the sidewalk, tumbles into the street, and then gets up and runs away.
