After pulling into a gas station, FWPD said the vehicle’s occupants began running away and jumped into a different car. The helicopter followed this car to where it stopped under a bridge, and the occupants fled on foot. Officers were able to locate five people that were in the car.

Both cars were reported stolen from the Dallas-Fort Worth area with fake license plates.

Fort Worth Police said three people were taken to the city jail. Two juveniles were taken to a juvenile detention facility.

I was over in the Mueller area when the street takeover occurred. Although Barton Springs & Lamar got the most notice, there were multiple locations around town. It was scary -- and I pray no emergency traffic into the nearby Dell Children's Center was disrupted. I'm glad to see these idiots held to account.
