Police in Seattle released video on Tuesday of a high-speed chase that led to the arrests of three teenagers who authorities say attempted three carjackings using a stolen SUV.

Officers responded around 9 p.m. on Dec. 19 to several calls about the carjackings and a robbery, the Seattle Police Department said. The suspects were described as “three juvenile males in a gray SUV.”

Police began chasing the suspects’ gray Hyundai in the Alki neighborhood and followed them onto the West Seattle Bridge, where an officer successfully deployed spike strips to deflate the SUV’s tires.

The suspects then drove onto southbound Interstate Highway 5 before coming to a stop at South Corgiat Drive and Ursula Place South in South Seattle, authorities said.

Investigators contacted the registered owner of the Hyundai and were informed it had been stolen.

The teens are also accused of three separate attempted carjackings prior to the chase.

In the first attempted carjacking, two of the teens allegedly approached a victim opening a door to his vehicle, threatened that they had a gun and demanded his car, according to police. The man locked his vehicle and ran into a nearby business to escape.

The same suspects later tried to carjack a 37-year-old woman who was sitting in her car, police said. She refused their demands and drove to a safe location to call 911.

During a third reported attempted carjacking, the suspects allegedly stole two cellphones and keys from a 52-year-old man and a woman. The woman was able to point out the suspects’ gray Hyundai to police, beginning the chase.

Projected Lineup: Feb. 26 vs. Seattle | St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).

It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.

“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”

Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.

Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.

Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.

“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”

Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.

“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
