At approximately 2:40 am on February 1st, a St. Charles Police Sergeant observed a blue mini van leaving the Time Centre Apartments in St. Charles with its headlights off.
The Sergeant attempted to stop the vehicle for investigation. However the driver of the vehicle refused to stop and entered Interstate 70 traveling east. The St. Charles Police communications division was able to run the license plate of the vehicle and then contact the owner who confirmed the mini van had been stolen from St. Louis City.
The St. Charles police pursuit of the stolen vehicle continued east on Hwy 70 until the suspects hit a sign with the vehicle at Kingshighway and Martin Luther King Blvd. causing it to come to a stop.
Both suspects fled from the vehicle on foot and were apprehended minutes later by the St. Charles police sergeant with assistance from the St. Louis City Metropolitan Police Department. The two subjects, who were the occupants of the stolen vehicle, are in custody at the St. Louis Police Department. After their arrest it was learned they were wanted on a variety of charges.
