Police chase: Armed kidnapping suspects arrested after crash in Logan Square
CHICAGO - Three suspects accused of armed kidnapping were arrested Monday night after a police chase ended in a crash in Logan Square.
Around 10:28 p.m., North Chicago police received a call about a woman who was on foot and being chased by her boyfriend, who was driving a gray 2010 Mazda. Authorities were told he might be armed with a gun.
When officers responded to the scene, they said they couldn’t find the woman right away, but did spot the gray Mazda, which quickly sped away. They learned that the woman's phone appeared to be "pinging" from inside the Mazda, raising concerns about a possible kidnapping.
Officers pursued the vehicle onto southbound Interstate 94 as it crossed into Chicago. However, they lost sight of it when it exited the expressway.
About 10:44 p.m., Illinois State Police spotted the Mazda and attempted to pull it over. The driver fled again, leading to a chase through Chicago's North Side. The pursuit ended at the intersection of Milwaukee and Diversey avenues when the Mazda collided with another car.
Three people jumped out of the vehicle but were quickly apprehended. They were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
Meanwhile, the woman was found inside the Mazda but didn’t cooperate with police about what happened.
The investigation is ongoing.
