Carjacking Spree Suspect Apprehended in FresnoCarjacking Spree Suspect Apprehended in Fresno Following a harrowing carjacking spree that terrorized Fresno, a suspect has been apprehended by authorities. The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Anthony Ruiz, is believed to have been involved in a series of four carjackings over the past week. The victims, all of whom were unharmed, described a similar modus operandi: a man approaching them with a firearm and demanding their keys. The spree culminated in a high-speed chase on Monday evening when police pursued a stolen vehicle linked to Ruiz. The chase ended in a residential neighborhood, where Ruiz allegedly abandoned the car and fled on foot. After a brief search, officers apprehended Ruiz hiding in a backyard. He was arrested and transported to the Fresno County Jail, where he faces multiple charges, including carjacking, robbery, and possession of a firearm. “This arrest is a testament to the tireless efforts of our officers who worked around the clock to bring this dangerous individual to justice,” said Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer. “We are equally grateful to the victims who provided invaluable information that led to his apprehension.” The spree has left the Fresno community shaken, and the arrest of Ruiz has brought a sense of relief. Authorities are investigating whether Ruiz is connected to any other unsolved crimes in the area. Ruiz is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday to face formal charges. The investigation into the carjacking spree remains ongoing.
