2 charged for allegedly carjacking vehicle with child inside from Roxborough gas station

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office has charged two suspects for allegedly carjacking a vehicle from a Roxborough gas station while a child was still inside.

The suspects have been identified as Jeremiah Thomas and Milan Dean-Brewer. Both are 18 years old and from Montgomery County.

The carjacking happened around 4 p.m. Sunday at a gas station in the 8900 block of Ridge Avenue.

According to the D.A.'s office, Thomas and Dean-Brewer jumped into a car that was still running while the girl's father went inside to make a purchase.

The suspects took off, the D.A.'s office said, but at one point the girl managed to escape when the suspects made a stop.

She made it home without injury.

The two suspects were eventually arrested after they crashed into a Whitemarsh Township police vehicle on Ridge Pike in Montgomery County.

Both Thomas and Dean-Brewer are charged with carjacking, kidnapping, auto theft and related offenses.
