THREE DAY CHASE: Non-Citizen Steals Govt Truck, Prompts Police On Dangerous Wild Pursuit


We now have a truck chase in Maryland state that’s been going for three days?!

How is that possible?

And the culprit is, you guessed it! Someone who entered illegally.

When people say America is the land of opportunity, I don’t think that phrase implies the opportunity to commit crimes. But apparently thats how so many of these people interpret it.

He pushed that police vehicle out of his way with ease!

Fox News reports:

Cesar Flavio Lanuza, the man accused of stealing a Maryland Highway Administration tow truck and leading police on a wild chase, is in the U.S. illegally, FOX 5 has confirmed.

Federal officials have lodged a detainer on him.

It’s been three days since that wild chase started in College Park, Maryland. You can still see the marks cut into the ground where the state highway truck finally came to a stop in Silver Spring.

The suspect who’s accused of stealing the tow truck, eluding police, crashing into cruisers and cars, is also wanted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

ICE’s Baltimore field office director Darius Reeves confirmed with FOX 5 on Tuesday that Flavio Lanuza is from Nicaragua, and there’s a detainer against him with the Montgomery County detention center.

In the past, ICE has been critical of Montgomery County for not fully cooperating with detainers.

As someone mentioned, once their funds come to an end they’ve got nothing to lose.

Are we going to start seeing more of this?
