MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — The Mobile Police Department said they arrested two people are searching for a third after a chase Monday afternoon.
Police said officers witnessed a “potential drug transaction involving individuals known to be affiliated with a gang” near Moffett Road.
Officers tried to pull them over, but the driver refused to stop and a chase ensued. During the chase, two guns were thrown from the car, one of which was altered, according to the release.
The chase ended when the suspects’ car hit a home on Pages Lane. This caused minimal damage and no injuries.
Betty Nettles across the street on Pages Lane heard everything unfold and saw the police apprehend the suspects.
“We heard this big boom,” said Nettles. “We heard police coming and a lot of police vehicles, and the car that the young lady was driving, she went through the fence and went into that person’s house right there–that neighbor’s house and they were looking for one that jumped the fence; I don’t know if he got away or not, but they did capture two of them.”
A man and woman were apprehended, while another man escaped. Police said they are still investigating.
