Car rolls into Palm Springs home after carjacking, police searching for two suspects

Police asked residents in a Palm Springs neighborhood to stay inside and lock their doors amid a search for two suspects who took off running after a car rolled over into the driveway of a home.

It happened before 10 p.m. on Desert Way in Palm Springs, off of Sunny Dunes Road.

Neighbors said police told them the car had been stolen from a nearby gas station. They said they heard the car accelerate down their cul-de-sac, and described the crash as jarring. The car smashed through the gate of the home and rolled over into bushes.

Neighbors said the residents who live there weren't home at the time.

On Thursday, the Palm Springs Police Department Department confirmed the vehicle was reported stolen out of Rancho Mirage. Officials say the vehicle was spotted on the 3600 Block of Ramon Road in Palm Springs at approximately 8:30 p.m.

Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver failed to yield, leading to the pursuit that ended in the crash.

A tow truck arrived and pulled the mangled car from the brush. Police searched for the suspects for several hours with the help of a helicopter but the suspect has not been located as of Noon on Thursday.

PSPD is asking for the public’s help in this incident.

The department asks people who live in the area near the 700-900 Block of Desert Way and the area of E. Mesquite Avenue and Desert Way to review their surveillance video.
