Three people were arrested Thursday morning for a pair of armed robberies, after a chase on Interstate 5 in Tacoma, according to the Tacoma Police Department.
Police say an armed robbery happened at the Fast Pho Teriyaki at about 12:44 a.m. Thursday morning, located on the 5600 block of Portland Avenue East in Tacoma.
Afterward, the suspects went to Puyallup and robbed a 76 Gas Station in the 7200 block of Canyon Road East.
By that time, police had caught up to them and a pursuit was initiated through the streets of Tacoma until the suspects went onto I-5.
On I-5, the Washington State Patrol laid out spike strips to disable the car and all three suspects ran.
After a brief chase, all three were taken into custody.
According to police, the suspects are aged 13, 14, and 19.
Their car was reported stolen out of Tacoma.
We are on scene of a pursuit/k9 track with multiple agencies.
