Teen Carjackers Arrested

Two teenagers are being held on high bail after a carjacking incident in Perinton that ended in a police chase into the City of Rochester this week.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office say the 16 and 17-year-old juveniles face charges ranging from first degree robbery to criminal use of a firearm. One was also facing an outstanding warrant.

Deputies say the two stole a car at gun-point in the parking lot of the Fairport Baptist Home on Thursday. Deputies spotted the car and two other stolen vehicles. The cars split up, and deputies mounted two separate chases into the city after them. Two vehicles were stopped after one crashed, and city police helped deputies secure the drivers. The third vehicle was found abandoned and that suspect is being sought.
