2 Charged After Trying To Carjack Delco Food Delivery Driver: Police

EAST LANSDOWNE, PA — A man and woman are in custody for trying to carjack a food delivery driver in Delaware County over the weekend, according to authorities.

East Lansdowne Police said Victor Ashley Jones, 51, and Angela Rosado, 34, both of Chester, were charged with attempted criminal robbery and related crimes in connection with a Sunday incident.

Police said officers were called to the 100 Block of Wildwood Avenue early Sunday morning for a report of an armed carjacking attempt.

There, officers found the victim, who said he was trying to deliver food to a nearby residence when a man and woman approached his vehicle.

The man and woman, later identified as Jones and Rosado, tried to take his vehicle, police said.

Police said the driver did not comply with their attempted carjacking, which led Rosado to spray the victim in the face with mace.

The incident was captured on the victim's dashboard camera, which led police to get a description of the suspects.

Police searched the area and found Jones and Rosado crouched down behind a shed at a nearby residence.

They were taken into custody, charged with attempted robbery, assault, and related offenses.

Jones has a criminal history in Delaware County dating back to 2009, when he pleaded guilty to illegal drug possession.

He also pleaded guilty to DUI, disorderly conduct, and driving without a license, according to court documents.

Rosado pleaded guilty to retail theft in 2018, court records show.

Both were held after failing to post 10 percent of $100,000 bail.

They are scheduled for preliminary hearings on Aug. 22.
