GLENDORA, N.J. (CBS) – Officials in New Jersey say an alert citizen helped police arrest two suspects who were robbing a home in Camden County.

According to authorities, police received a call from a citizen who said they saw two suspicious males leaving the back of a home and entering a red vehicle.

Officials say the citizen followed the vehicle and gave Gloucester Township Police continual updates.

Police say officers were able to locate the vehicle on Evesham Road, but when officers activated their emergency warning lights to pull the vehicle over the suspects fled towards the Deptford Mall and entered the northbound lanes of Route 42 at speeds over 100 MPH.
