DETROIT – A trio of teenagers who were linked to five carjackings, three shootings, and a murder case fled police on a chase that included several crashes around Detroit, officials said.
The Investigators at Local 4 obtained the dash cam footage from this chase. It shows angles from four different police cars. You can watch them all in the video above.
It started when Michigan State Police canine units located the vehicle in the area of 8 Mile Road, but the car fled when they tried to pull it over.
The teenagers who were ultimately taken into custody are believed to have been involved in five armed carjackings, three non-fatal shootings, and a recent homicide, according to authorities.
The investigation is continuing by DPD and MSP.
Four MSP officers were involved in the pursuit, which at one point reached 95 mph.
The pursuit continued into the area of Hessel and Sunderland.
Troopers worked together to box the vehicle in on northbound Sunderland, a dead end road.
The vehicle was heading towards troopers when a unsuccessful pit maneuver was attempted, resulting in damage to two MSP patrol cars crashing into each other.
The driver then turned onto Hessel and crashed into another MSP patrol car head on.
All three teenagers were taken into custody, and two guns were located inside the vehicle, police said. The driver was an 18-year-old man and the passengers were 18 and 17.
One trooper was transported to a local hospital for treatment, as a precaution, and released.
There were no other injuries to canines, troopers, or members of the public.
