BALTIMORE, MARYLAND — Harford County Sheriff’s deputies pursued a stolen hot pink moving truck from New Jersey down Interstate 95 into southeast Baltimore Friday night, deploying multiple tire-deflation devices before the truck finally came to a stop at a gas station on Eastern Avenue with one shredded tire and one tire missing entirely.
The truck, bearing the name “Piece of Cake Moving & Storage” — a New York City-based moving company — was reported stolen out of New Jersey. Deputies followed it down I-95 until it stopped at a gas station in the 6400 block of Eastern Avenue at approximately 9:45 p.m. Multiple deputies surrounded the vehicle and worked with Baltimore Police Department officers to detain the driver. Stop sticks deployed during the chase left one tire shredded and another gone completely.
Baltimore Police remained at the gas station until a tow truck could remove the vehicle. A use of force occurred on the Baltimore city side of the pursuit. The Harford County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
