Cops Chase, Capture Suspects On Lake Shore Drive

(CBS) – Chicago police have taken suspects into custody following an automobile chase on the South Side that ended on Lake Shore Drive.

Officers observed a stolen vehicle in the 3700 block of South Cottage Grove around 6 p.m. Friday and pursued the automobile to Lake Shore Drive and 67th, where the persons of interest were placed into custody, according to CPD.

Chopper 2 video shows a chaotic end to the pursuit: The suspects' vehicle, a Porsche, had a flat tire, and was driving on the rim with sparks flying. At least three men jumped out of the still-rolling car.

It was unclear how many suspects have been detained. A handgun has been found near the scene.

The owner of the stolen Porsche, Allen Bearden, talked with CBS 2 at a Chicago police station. He says his vehicle was taken from him at gunpoint around 1 p.m. Friday.

No injuries have been reported.
