The stolen vehicle eventually became stuck in a ditch near Jefferson Avenue and Melgund Road at which time the five occupants exited the vehicle and ran southbound through a nearby field. AIR1 directed ground units to the suspects as they fled and observed one suspect discard a knife.

All five were taken into custody after a brief foot pursuit by General Patrol and K9 Unit members. The discarded knife, along with a key fob for the stolen vehicle, was recovered.

A stolen bank card, taken from a vehicle in the Hilbrook Drive area, was found on one suspect.

A North District General Patrol unit took the male into custody in the 200 block of Dufferin Avenue. He was found to be in possession of a hunting-style knife, a sawed-off 12 gauge pump-action shotgun and fourteen 12 gauge shotgun shells.
