Police say the suspects got on U.S. 59 and then took the 610 West Loop southbound exit, and crashed into a retaining wall. One suspect was arrested after the crash, but the other two jumped the wall.

Minutes later, the second suspect was caught in a nearby neighborhood.

Authorities searched for the third suspect at Cascade Street and Evergreen, but after the perimeter was broken the search ended.



Police say the suspects got away with more than $100,000, but the money may have been recovered in the crashed vehicle.
