Four deputies are recovering after a morning attempted carjacking ended with two patrol cars damaged in Spanaway.

According to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, a person called 911 around 10:36 a.m. after a woman tried to steal his car near the intersection of Pacific Avenue South and 175th Street South.

PCSO said the woman was with three other accomplices and one pointed a gun at the victim.

The victim gave deputies the description of the car they were in and deputies were able to find it a short time later.

Deputies found the car going northbound on Pacific Avenue South and began to pursue it.

The suspects hit two other cars on the road before deputies performed the PIT maneuver to stop the car around 15500 Pacific Avenue South.

A man and a woman ran away, while two others stayed in the car and surrendered to deputies.

After a short run, deputies caught the two that ran and arrested them.

Four police cars were damaged in the pursuit and four deputies were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries.

PCSO said the passengers in the two civilian cars were not injured.

The car the suspects were in was stolen and the gun had been modified with a switch and extended magazine.

The investigation is ongoing.
