State Police have made an arrest and had been searching for a second suspect in a jewelry store robbery. Police say as many as four suspects in two vehicles may have been involved in the heist.

It all started around 9 p.m. Monday at the Jared jewelry store on Interchange Rd. in Millcreek.

Police say two men used hammers to smash multiple glass cases and made off with a large amount of jewelry in excess of $200,000.

Witnesses gave police a description of the getaway car - a red van stolen out of Detroit - seen speeding away. A few minutes later, State Police started a chase along I-90. It ended when the suspects crashed the mini-van along the interstate near East Springfield; no other cars were involved.

Both people inside jumped out of the van. Police arrested one suspect, who has since been identified as Roderick D. Brown, 19, of Detroit. The other robber took off into the woods.

Brown admitted to police that he and another man were responsible for the crime as he was taken to the hospital to be checked out for injuries from the crash, according to the criminal complaint.

Brown was arraigned by a district judge Tuesday morning on charges of robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and retail theft.

He was sent to the Erie County Prison with bond set at $250,000.

Despite an overnight search, the second suspect remains at large.

State Police are telling people in the East Springfield area to keep the homes and cars locked for safety. They are asking people to report any suspicious activity.

There's no impact on any school at this point.
