INDIANAPOLIS — Four teenagers were arrested after leading police on a chase in a stolen vehicle on the north side of Indianapolis Tuesday afternoon.
According to police records, two 15-year-old males, and 15-year-old female and a 14-year-old female were arrested.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Northwest District officers responded to the 2900 block of Riverside Drive East at 2:45 p.m. on reports of shots fired.
Upon arrival, officers saw the suspect vehicle flee and a brief vehicle pursuit occurred. Officers then learned the vehicle was stolen during an armed carjacking on Monday.
The victim of the carjacking told WRTV's Rachael Wilkerson he was standing outside of his Honda Civic, which he left running, on Dec. 9.
He was talking to a friend who lived at a residence near 36th Pl. when he says a car pulled up, teenagers in ski masks hopped out and held the two of them at gunpoint.
"They put my friend on his knees but they had a gun to his head and the teenagers were telling us not to move," he said. "So when I tried to react, I already had one gun pointed at me with the laser at my chest."
"We were not expecting that. They just started saying don't move! Don't move. I froze," said another victim.
He said they were patted down. His wallet was also stolen. Then, he said the teenagers drove off. He said the car did not have insurance.
IMPD SWAT officers were in the area of 30th Street and Fall Creek Pkwy attempting to block traffic for the oncoming pursuit.
IMPD says as the suspect vehicle was attempting to change directions, it made contact with the SWAT vehicle. As a result, the SWAT vehicle tipped over onto its side.
The driver and front passenger exited the suspect vehicle after it crashed, fleeing on foot, according to police. Both male suspects were taken into custody.
Two female passengers were also taken into custody, IMPD says.
The four suspects from the vehicle were transported to a local hospital. The IMPD SWAT officer involved in the crash was also taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Two firearms were located at the scene and seized.
