Five people linked to an armed robbery at a marijuana dispensary in Portland, Oregon, on Friday were taken into custody, according to reports.
The arrests followed a high-speed chase on Interstate 84 that saw the fleeing vehicle reach speeds of 100 miles an hour, Oregon’s FOX 12 reported.
At one point, the fleeing vehicle left the interstate and the five occupants spread out on foot in a residential neighborhood. Two people were soon apprehended, while the remaining three were captured around 6 pm – about four hours after the vehicle chase began, FOX 12 reported.
