Po­lice have cap­tured two teenagers, in­clud­ing a 14-year-old, fol­low­ing a high-speed chase and shootout on the Claude Noel High­way in To­ba­go on Wednes­day night. How­ev­er, one sus­pect re­mains on the run.

Po­lice said a bar­ber from Mary’s Hill, Ply­mouth, re­port­ed to Scar­bor­ough po­lice that his red Mit­subishi Lancer had been stolen. He told of­fi­cers that around 10.30 am, he dropped the car off at the garage in Scar­bor­ough for re­pairs. At 5 pm, he was asked to come for the car, but since he was still at work, he asked for it to be left on the road­side with the key in­side.

By the time he went to pick it up, it was gone. 

Soon af­ter, of­fi­cers at­tempt­ed to in­ter­cept a stolen car along Mil­ford Road, Bon Ac­cord, when the dri­ver sped off. The chase end­ed in a crash near Lam­beau, where the stolen car col­lid­ed with a po­lice of­fi­cer’s ve­hi­cle and an­oth­er car. It is al­leged that a preg­nant woman was trapped in­side and had to be res­cued be­fore be­ing tak­en for med­ical at­ten­tion.

Po­lice said as the ve­hi­cle flipped, one of the sus­pects al­leged­ly fired at of­fi­cers, who re­turned fire. Two sus­pects, a 14-year-old and a 19-year-old, were ar­rest­ed and tak­en to the Scar­bor­ough Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal for med­ical at­ten­tion. 

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
