Two people are under arrest this morning after the pair evaded law enforcement officers, leading them on a Valleywide chase. According to the DPS, it began at 1:55 a.m. with reports of an unverified law enforcement vehicle with red and blue flashing lights traveling eastbound on I-10 near 35th Avenue.
Troopers attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver would not pull over. DPS utilized their helicopter, Phoenix Firebird, in an effort to track the vehicle from overhead as it continued to flee.
The pursuit followed into Tempe just a few blocks north of Priest and University Drives as the vehicle stopped. The two individuals exited the vehicle, then ran off on foot. Officers were able to catch up to the suspects quickly and apprehended both of them.
Those behind the alleged incidents arrested will have their names undisclosed, and their case is still under investigation. Further information will be released as details emerge.
