A suspect crashed into a Durham police car in front of leading officers during a chase on I-85 that ended in a crash near Hillandale Road.

CARY, N.C. (WTVD) — Cary police announced Tuesday that two suspects are in custody in connection with several burglaries since January.

Tremaine Mason, 34, of Durham, and Deion Liles, 28, of Durham, have been identified as suspects in a series of residential burglaries along the NC 55 Highway and Davis Drive corridors. Working with the Durham Police Department, Mason was located in Durham and arrested without incident.

DPD officers later found Liles around 9:45 a.m. in the 2800 block of Campus Walk Avenue, but he fled as officers attempted to make a traffic stop, leading to a police chase.

While fleeing, Liles crashed into an unmarked Durham police car before entering Interstate 85. A short time later, he lost control, went off the road and overturned the car near Hillandale Road.

Liles was taken to a hospital with what were reported to be non-life-threatening injuries.

Officers also recovered a gun that Liles allegedly threw from the vehicle.

Mason was charged with a total of 57 counts, including burglary. Deion Liles was charged with a total of 20 counts.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact Cary Police at (919) 469-4012 or Cary Crimestoppers at (919) 460-4636 for anonymous reporting options.
