Chaos erupted in South Seattle as armed carjacking suspects led police on a high-speed chase through White Center and Burien on Friday night. According to KIRO 7, the incident began after emergency dispatchers received a report of an Audi SUV being hijacked in the 9200 block of 35th Avenue Southwest in White Center around 7:40 p.m.

The victim, threatened with a gun, was relieved of their white Audi by two assailants. Driving away with the booty, the suspects split, with one in the stolen Audi and the other in their Hyundai, as reported by B-Town Blog. Seattle Police officers, backed by the King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) Guardian One helicopter, gave chase, snaking through the streets in a determined pursuit.

In a dramatic turn of events detailed by MyNorthwest, the police managed to collar both suspects in Burien. The capture included one juvenile, following a pursuit that darted across city lines and pulled in multiple law enforcement agencies.

The underage suspects were subsequently booked into the Judge Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center, as their illicit escapade came to an end. Along with the arrestees, the pilfered vehicle and an associated firearm were recovered, according to the report by KIRO 7
