Police said they have identified the final two girls believed to be involved in the carjacking of the Villa Cresta Elementary school teacher last Friday.
Celandra Lace Lacruze, 16, of the 4000 block of Starbrook Circle, Randallstown, is being charged as an adult. She will face carjacking, robbery, and theft of auto in court, police said. She is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center, police said.
Police said the fourth girl involved is maintaining her status as a minor.
According to police, the two vehicles that the girls used to get away – a Ford Fusion and a Dodge Journey — were stolen. The girls used distractions to steal the car keys from the owners’ purses at other elementary schools. The vehicles have since been recovered, police said.
All four girls who were charged have confessed to committing the crime at Villa Cresta, police said. They are believed to have other involvement in purse-snatchings in Baltimore City, police said.
The black 2013 Kia Sportage has yet to be found, police said.
