A weekend theft – and crash – of a pickup truck ended with the arrest of three men from the Gila River Indian Community, Mesa police said.
Two other suspects escaped following the pursuit early Saturday through southeast Mesa, Queen Creek and south Gilbert.
According to police, around 1:35 p.m. officers were dispatched to the 7600 block of East Obispo Avenue in reference to a report of a stolen vehicle.
Soon after, an officer found the Ford F250 driving toward Sossaman Road. The truck then went south on Sossaman at a high rate of speed while turning the lights on and off.
With patrol cars in pursuit, guided by a police helicopter, the truck drove on until it crashed near Greenfield and Chandler Heights road, causing major damage to the vehicle’s front. The five men in the truck then ran away.
After a short time, three suspects were caught while trying to hide under a truck.
Two men were booked into jail on suspicion of possessing stolen property and trespassing, while the third suspect was booked as a juvenile for the same charges.
