Jermaine Cowan, 35, and Carmello DeKane, 30, face charges
including second-degree robbery after holding up a bank in
Westport, according to authorities.
Police said the suspects then fled in a car, driving the wrong
way down Merritt Parkway.
After crashing into two cars and hitting a guard rail, the two
men ran into a wooded area off the parkway in Norwalk, a city
that borders Westport, police said.
There were no injuries reported.
DeKane, the suspected driver, faces additional charges that
include engaging police in pursuit. Both men, who authorities
said had extensive criminal records, are being held on $85,000
bond.
