Suspects linked to robbery lead police in high speed chase

PROVIDENCE, RI (WLNE) – Providence police arrested four suspects connected to a robbery after pursuing them in a high speed chase early Friday morning.

All four suspects were transported to Rhode Island Hospital after the chase ended in the car crashing into a telephone pole. 

The incident began when officers responded to a call for a robbery at the Mobile 1 gas station on Valley Street around 3:00 a.m..

The victim, who remains unidentified, told police that he was robbed after he offered to drive two women home from Kennedy Plaza.

The women were later identified as Gina Dorsey, 37, and Amanda Verria, 34.

Police say a blue car pulled up to the victim’s when he was dropping the women off and two men, Raymond Grundy, 34, and Alexander Haskin, 29, approached him.

Grundy told the victim he was a police officer while Haskin forcibly removed him form his car.

Haskin stole the victim’s wallet and credit cards, and smashed his cell phone and Grundy told him to drive them to an ATM and give them money or he would “go to jail.”

When the victim refused Haskin, Grundy, Verria and Dorsey took his belongings and fled the scene in the blue car.

Police were able to find the car after determining that it was actively stolen.

The suspects remain at Rhode Island Hospital under the supervision of the Providence Police Department, and are awaiting charges related the incident.

Grundy will face additional charges for impersonating a police officer.
