ELLWOOD CITY, PA. Robbery results in manhunt, arrest of Rochester, Pa., man

Police are still searching for a second man.
ELLWOOD CITY, Pa. -- Authorities expect to file charges today against a suspect captured after a police manhunt earlier this week.
Lawrence County District Attorney Matthew Mangino said Samuel Warnick, 19, of Rochester, Pa., will face charges of fleeing and eluding police. Mangino said other charges are pending, but he refused to identify them.
Warnick was arrested Wednesday evening after a massive manhunt sparked by an armed robbery about 4 p.m., according to Ellwood City Mayor Roy P. Meehan Jr.
Mangino said Warnick and another man were spotted by police near the Fifth Street Bridge in Ellwood City; they jumped over a guardrail when police tried to detain them. Police said the men ran down an embankment to the Connoquenessing Creek.
They later captured Warnick on the south side of the Connoquenessing Creek near the Ewing Park Bridge, about a half-mile away. The other man was not found.
Mangino said police tried to stop the men because they were investigating a number of matters in the borough but also knew he was wanted on arrest warrants in Beaver County.
He faces robbery charges in New Brighton, Mangino said.
Outside help
The man with Warnick was not identified by authorities, but police spent several hours searching the creek bank for him and brought in a Pennsylvania State Police helicopter after sunset to search the densely wooded area with a large spotlight and thermal imaging camera.
Nine police departments from two counties participated in the search.
Police from several departments were also involved in investigating two daylight home burglaries earlier that day in Ellport, a small borough just outside Ellwood City.
Police said one of the residents saw two men in the house in the early afternoon.
Neighbors said authorities spent several hours with police dogs searching the woods behind the homes on First Street that also lead to the Connoquenessing Creek.
Police are not saying if these burglaries are related to a string of daylight burglaries reported in Ellwood City.
Six residential burglaries from June 11 to Monday were reported in the 2nd, 4th and 5th wards of Ellwood City, police said.
Police warned residents to keep their doors locked and to be on the lookout for anyone suspicious. All of the burglaries occurred when no one was home, and the doors were forced open, police said.
Warnick was being held in the Beaver County Jail this morning in lieu of $10,000 bond.
