U.S. Marshals have arrested two men in Camden in connection with the theft of a Cherry Hill police patrol car, authorities said.

John C. Daraio, of Mount Laurel, and Anthony K. Knight, of Camden, have been charged with multiple counts of burglary, theft and criminal mischief.

Police allege that Daraio, Knight and Jessica Likaitis, of Westville, broke into the Cherry Hill Best Buy early Sunday morning. Officers found them loading televisions into a van, but they escaped and took police on a county-wide chase.

Likaitis was captured by police in Evesham during the chase, but Daraio and Knight remained at large until U.S. Marshals arrested them separately Monday and Tuesday.

Daraio, who is being charged with the theft of the police car, is being held without bail. Knight and Likaitis are being held on $50,000 and $60,000 bail respectively.

The stolen police car was found burning in Camden.
