Suspected Teenage Carjacker Turns Himself In To Cleveland Law Enforcement

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH - Daylon Acton, a 15-year-old wanted in connection with a series of bank robberies and carjackings, turned himself into police Tuesday night, the FBI says. Police arrested Acton's partner, Duwuan Jackson, 17, on March 9 and have been aggressively searching for Acton since Jackson's arrest.

A spokesperson for the FBI said Acton turned himself in to juvenile services. The FBI would not provide more information on Acton's arrest on Wednesday morning.

The FBI says that in early March there were a pair of attempted carjackings in Euclid, including an incident at Zappy's Car Wash. Police said two people attempted to carjack a vehicle at Zappy's. The two suspects were armed and approached the driver of a Chevrolet Impala and tried to steal the car. A spokesperson for the FBI told Patch that Jackson and Acton are believed to have been the attempted carjackers.

The driver fled the area on foot but the suspects were unable to get away with the car. About one hour later two suspects attempted another carjacking on Effingham Avenue in Euclid. You can read more about those incidents here.

Jackson was located at an address on Muskoka Avenue in Cleveland on March 9. He was arrested without incident, the FBI said at the time. However, the other people in the residence on Muskoka Avenue were also arrested for harboring a wanted fugitive.
