The second suspect in an armed robbery that led to a manhunt in North Ridgeville has not been captured, despite the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office previously saying he was arrested.

The prosecutor's office clarified Thursday that the man is still on the run. 

The search for two armed robbery suspects started on Tuesday night, leading into an overnight manhunt.

A 17-year-old was located by police that night. 

The manhunt started at a Subway on the city’s west side and ended in North Ridgeville. A Subway restaurant off Lorain Avenue was hit late Tuesday night in an armed robbery.

The suspects, according to police, fled in a stolen Mercedes and lead police on a 120 mile per hour chase to the Route 83 exit off of Route 10 in North Ridgeville.

Troopers used stop sticks to intercept the Mercedes.

The suspects ditched the car and ran into the woods, leading police on a foot chase.

Authorities recovered a gun inside the Mercedes.

The hours-long search prompted police to caution North Ridgeville residents to stay inside Wednesday morning.

That Mercedes was stolen a week ago from the cultural trail when a woman was held up at gunpoint.
