Police say it all started with the four armed teenagers carjacking a pizza delivery driver at 1:30 a.m. on Monday. According to authorities, a friend of the driver went looking for his friend's missing silver Impala when the suspects fired shots at him.

Around 3:30 a.m., police say the suspects then carjacked a second vehicle, a red Toyota truck, from two people.

Police found the silver Impala and red Toyota driving together when a chase ensued.

The Impala fled, but lost control and hit a curb. Two suspects were then taken into custody.

Another officer followed the red Toyota. The truck stopped and two suspects were taken into custody at Maple Street and Renwick Drive.
