MCSO

Martin County - Monday February 20, 2023: Martin County Sheriff Deputies arrested two young men Friday on carjacking allegations.

18 year old Zion Lewis of Coral Springs and 16 year old Izayah Drapin of Miramar pulled into a 7-Eleven on Martin Highway and High Meadows in Stuart. They were immediately surrounded by deputies who had been following the vehicle once it entered the county after a BOLO ( Be On the LookOut) was issued for the stolen vehicle they were in.

The Deputies utilized a tactical parking maneuver to make the felony stop. One of the suspects was wearing a mask and initially refused to exit the car, but he eventually complied to commands and was arrested.

The pair are wanted in connection to a carjacking in Broward County.

Zion Lewis and Izayah Drapin were charged with felony grand theft of an auto and taken to the Martin County Jail. Additional charges are pending.
