Chaos erupted on the streets of Minneapolis when police officers, in a high-speed pursuit, chased down two Kias believed to be connected with an armed robbery. The chase, which swiftly moved from Northeast Minneapolis into the Northside, ended when one of the Kias collided with an unsuspecting motorist at the intersection of N Penn Ave. and Plymouth Ave. N. According to the Minneapolis Police Department, three teenagers, two aged 16 and a 15-year-old, were apprehended as they attempted to flee the crash site. A handgun was also found, leading investigators to dig further into the incident.

A representative from the police department informed the public that efforts are ongoing to piece together whether these suspects are the same individuals behind the robberies that hit Minneapolis over the weekend.
