A police chase that began in McKeesport following two alleged armed robberies in the area ended with a crash on Route 48 in Monroeville and two men and a juvenile going to jail.

Deon Dutrieuille, 19, and Dontae Dutrieuille, 16, both of Turtle Creek, and Robert Webb, 23, of Homestead are charged with robbery, theft by unlawful taking and criminal conspiracy.

They are accused of robbing stores in McKeesport and West Mifflin at gunpoint, according to McKeesport police Capt. Christopher Halaszynski.

McKeesport police were dispatched to D’s FoodMart on Union Avenue at 5:44 p.m. Thursday. Surveillance footage shows Webb and Dontae Dutrieuille, who was holding a gun, enter the store with masks on, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

Webb took money from the cash register while the teen held the door closed and stole two bags of potato chips, court records state. They ran from the store and fled in a silver Mercedes Benz driven by Deon Dutrieuille, police said.
