In Broward County, a suspect was quickly taken into custody Sunday morning after he allegedly stole a car out of a Wawa gas station in Pompano Beach.
Just before 9 a.m., Broward Sheriff's deputies heard about the stolen car near the gas station on West Atlantic Boulevard, then traveling southbound on I-95.
The car then suffered a mechanical failure, stopped and started to smolder near Commercial Boulevard and I-95, deputies said. That’s when the suspect escaped.
