In a late-night incident, St. Louis police apprehended four juveniles after a carjacking and chase. The situation began near the 1100 block of N. 20th Street, according to a report from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.

Details from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department reveal that a 30-year-old food delivery driver was robbed of his vehicle, a white 2012 Cadillac CTS, by two assailants, one who was armed with a rifle. The theft occurred shortly after midnight yesterday, leading to an urgent response from local law enforcement.

Officers in District 6 spotted the stolen Cadillac around 1:00 a.m. on Riverview near W. Florissant. When the driver ignored orders to stop, law enforcement initiated a pursuit and used spike strips to stop the vehicle. The Cadillac came to a stop near O’Fallon Park, where fleeing youths were caught shortly after. Officers discovered an airsoft rifle inside the stolen car along with the delivery driver's belongings. Four individuals—three aged 15 and one aged 13—were taken to the Juvenile Detention Center. The police stated that the investigation is ongoing as the young suspects await the consequences of their actions, as reported by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
