Goldsboro, N.C. — Goldsboro police chased a car occupied by three break-in suspects early Friday and arrested two, but the third person escaped.
State troopers said the chase started around 1:30 a.m., when police spotted the car and pursued it for a half-hour around Goldsboro.
Troopers said they took over the chase and, after a few miles, a trooper forced the suspects to stop in front of a church. The trooper performed a PIT maneuver, in which an officer uses a cruiser to bump a chased car out of control.
The three suspects jumped out of the car and ran. Troopers caught the driver – identified as Joseph Sims, 19, of Goldsboro – after a brief foot chase, and Goldsboro officers captured a 16-year-old suspect from Goldsboro.
A second passenger, whose name has not been released, escaped and remains at large, troopers said.
Sims was taken to a local hospital for observation, but was treated, released and taken to the Wayne County Jail.
Sims faces charges of felony fleeing to elude, driving with a revoked license, driving 65 mph in a 24 mph zone and numerous other traffic violations.
Police consider Sims, the 16-year-old and the second passenger as suspects in a break-in at Romellos Clothing Store on Berkley Boulevard.
Sims and the 16-year-old face breaking-and-entering charges in that incident. The teen was also charged with resisting an officer.

It was good that they got 2, but i think a little bit more smarts and planning and they could have got all 3.
