2 people in custody following reported armed robbery, chase with Phoenix police

Authorities say they were called to the scene for an armed robbery and got involved in a foot chase after catching up with those allegedly involved in the robbery.

PHOENIX — Two armed robbery suspects are in custody after a chase and shooting involving Phoenix police Sunday afternoon.

Phoenix police say around 4:30 p.m., officers were dispatched to an armed robbery call near 33rd and Glenrosa avenues. Police said when officers arrived, witnesses pointed to a vehicle driving by and told officers the suspects were inside. 

The officers drove to the area of 31st Avenue and Campbell Avenue and spotted the vehicle driving away. Police said the officers tried to stop the vehicle, but it continued to drive away. 

Phoenix police said officers pursued the vehicle until it crashed into an unoccupied parked car at an apartment complex near 19th Avenue and Indian School Road.  Authorities said multiple suspects got out of the car and took off on foot. 

An officer followed the suspect through the complex until he reached a block wall. Police said the suspect began to climb the wall, and that's when the officer-involved shooting occurred. The suspect was not struck and continued to run away. Officials said he was later located hiding inside a nearby canal.

Authorities said a firearm was found in the area where the shooting occurred. Two additional suspects were also located; however, one was later released.

No injuries to the suspects or any officers were reported.
