PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (WBZ) — Four people were arrested on Friday afternoon following a police chase in connection with the armed robbery of a FedEx driver in Harvard, Massachusetts.
Providence police said the suspects were being pursued by Massachusetts State Police and crossed into Rhode Island.
The white Acura crashed on I-95 near the Providence/Cranston line. Video from SkyEye shows the car had significant front-end damage and the airbags were deployed.

FedEx driver ambushed in Harvard
Police had been searching for the white Acura with a Connecticut license plate since it was spotted on home surveillance video during a robbery in the town of Harvard on Thursday.
A FedEx driver was ambushed and robbed in what police say may have been a targeted attack. Video shows the driver attempting to deliver a package to a home off Stow Road. Two men jumped out of the Acura and ripped the box from the driver’s hands.
Harvard police said the men yelled threats, suggesting they were armed. The car sped off with the package, a $1,900 Apple computer monitor.
Police said they believe the thieves knew the delivery was arriving. The homeowner said she saw the car near her driveway earlier that morning, and it was still there around noon.
The homeowner told WBZ she is not sure how the men knew it was being delivered and when.
