Police in Midtown Manhattan attempted to do a “felony car stop” when the driver sought to get away “by driving on the sidewalk and speeding past a group of people hanging out in front of Pergola restaurant,” according to the news report.

Police tried to stop the BMW by firing several shots at it. No one was injured.

A short car chase ensued, with the suspects abandoning the BMW after about a block. One suspect fled on foot and the other was taken into custody, according to CBS New York.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
