VIDEO: 2 arrested after Seattle Police pursuit ends in Mercer Island
SEATTLE - Seattle Police released dashcam video of a pursuit that ended in Mercer Island last week, which led to the arrest of a 17-year-old boy and 20-year-old man.
Authorities say the two robbed a 40-year-old man at gunpoint at a Chase ATM in South Seattle, near Martin Luther King Way S and S Myrtle St, then sped off in his car. The victim flagged someone down for help and called 911.
Officers got the vehicle description and tried to pull the car over.
The suspects instead got onto eastbound I-90 to Mercer Island. Dashcam video shows the suspect car suddenly weave onto the off-ramp for Exit 7B.
During the pursuit, officers saw one of the suspects toss a handgun out of the passenger-side window.
Eventually, the pursuit ended on a dirt road, and police arrested the two suspects for first-degree armed robbery with a gun.
