INDIANAPOLIS — Three juveniles have been arrested on Friday after a police chase connected to multiple armed robberies in the Indianapolis area, police said.

According to the IMPD, around 5:30 a.m., officers with the assistance of community members and the use of License Plate Reader technology, located a vehicle involved with the robberies, which police said took place Thursday evening into early Friday morning.

Police said a traffic stop was initiated on the vehicle and the vehicle fled from officers, resulting in a pursuit.

The suspect vehicle struck another stopped vehicle, which caused that vehicle's sole occupant to be extracted by EMS. Thankfully, the victim was transported to the hospital with only minor injuries.
