Man Wanted For Fleeing Police In Stolen Car Through South Jersey: Authorities

MANTUA, NJ — A Gloucester County man is wanted after authorities say he fled police multiple times in a stolen vehicle.

The suspect, William Hargrove, has an active warrant for eluding law enforcement, according to Mantua Township police.

On Monday night, Mantua patrol officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle. An officer found the vehicle and tried to stop it. But the driver, identified as Hargrove, fled the scene, police said.

"Two identified females" were riding in the vehicle, police said.

Later that evening, another Mantua officer saw Hargrove driving the vehicle on Interstate 676 in Camden.

Police tried to stop the vehicle again, and Hargrove initially pulled over. But an unknown male bailed on foot, and Hargrove drove away again, authorities said.

The vehicle headed toward the Ben Franklin Bridge. It was later recovered in Philadelphia and returned to its owner, police said.

Hargrove remains at large, police said Wednesday. His last-known address is in Mantua.

Police encouraged Hargrove to turn himself in. Anyone with information on his location can contact the Mantua Township Police Department or their local law-enforcement agency.
