4 arrested, 6 guns recovered after stolen vehicle stopped by authorities in Minneapolis
Four people in a stolen car were arrested by authorities in south Minneapolis on Thursday afternoon.
The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said that a white Jeep reported as stolen out of Maple Grove was allegedly involved in multiple auto theft tampering and dangerous driving incidents earlier on Thursday.
In the late afternoon, the same car was involved in at least one incident involving guns being pointed at people, officials say.
The HCSO Violent Offender Task Force (VOTF) found the vehicle in the afternoon, and when detectives tried to stop it, the car drove away.
Authorities say the VOTF and Minnesota State Patrol successfully deployed stop sticks to disable the car. As the driver stopped and ran from the vehicle, a passenger got into the driver’s seat and hit the original driver before the car fully stopped.
A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS photographer captured video of authorities processing the scene near Aldrich Avenue South and West 28th Street.
All four people were taken into custody, and two were brought to the hospital.
The sheriff’s office added that six guns were recovered at the scene.
