Police chase involving stolen car ends in Davie with 2 taken into custody

DAVIE, Fla. – Sky 10 was above the scene Wednesday when officers were behind a dark colored Dodge Charger, believed to be stolen.

According to authorities, a Broward Sheriff’s Office helicopter spotted a vehicle that had been stolen out of Orlando and issued a Be On The Lookout (BOLO).

The driver of the Dodge was speeding on the Florida Turnpike, narrowly missing other cars while weaving through lanes of traffic.

Deputies backed away but kept a close watch of the car from the helicopter.

The stolen car made it into northwest Miami-Dade before making a quick U-turn to head back north.

The driver eventually stopped along US-441 near Griffin Road and Orange Drive when one of the tires started to shred.

He then pulled over and stopped the Dodge on the side of the road.

From Sky 10, two people were seen walking outside the car while officers had their guns drawn.

Police then took the two people into custody.

No other details were immediately released.
