Investigators say the suspects drove off and were later spotted by police in Newark, where they allegedly led officers on a pursuit lasting 20 to 30 minutes, at times driving onto sidewalks.
The vehicle, believed to be a rental, was later found abandoned near a residence in Irvington, authorities said.
Police said the female suspect has been identified and is believed to be connected to multiple similar thefts across the tri-state area. Warrants have been issued for her arrest, though her name has not been released.
No arrests have been made.
