INDIANAPOLIS — Last year, State Police were busy with over 300 vehicle pursuits, and that has stayed the same as we move into the New Year: early Wednesday morning, a chase ended with a car crashing into a wall. Three people then ran into the nearby woods.

“I think it’s a decision that people make to disregard the law,” said State Police Sgt. John Perrine. “To choose to try and avoid the consequences of their actions.”

Perrine says a trooper spotted a stolen vehicle while patrolling I-65 northbound near MLK.

“When he tried to pull that vehicle over, they fled,” said Perrine. “He chased that vehicle for a short time before that vehicle crashed into the wall.”

Two people, one a teenager, were arrested after a car chase. Another person in the car got away. Police have found stolen guns.

“Some of the guns were equipped with a homemade device, making the gun fully automatic,” he added.
