Police say the two suspects were apprehended after a wild sequence of events.
“The initial crash involved a stolen vehicle. The two suspects fled on foot and attended a nearby residence, where they stole another vehicle,” explained Griffith. “One suspect was left at a nearby residence where they tried to steal [another] vehicle. [That] suspect was located and arrested at that scene.”
