Armed Robbery and Police Chase in Queens
Three men who committed a brazen armed robbery in Queens late at night, terrorizing the family inside, are now facing multiple charges after being apprehended by police. If found guilty, they could be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison.
Violent Home Invasion
The suspects, Brandon Dash, Ryan Dash, and Jone Smith, forcibly entered a home in Queens in the early hours of the morning, threatening the family with guns and hammers. The victims, including elderly individuals and children, were held hostage as the men demanded money.
Dramatic Police Pursuit
The daring escape attempt by the perpetrators led to a dramatic police chase, with officers using drones to track the suspects fleeing the scene. Despite their efforts to elude capture, the three men were eventually apprehended following a lengthy pursuit.
During the court proceedings, it was revealed that the defendants not only instilled fear in the victims but also caused physical harm, leaving some with minor injuries. The bravery displayed by a mother who managed to escape with her young child and call for help was commended by authorities.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz emphasized the seriousness of the crimes committed, highlighting the impact of such incidents on the sense of security that families should feel in their own homes. The defendants are currently in custody and will appear in court for further proceedings.
