A police chase from New Braunfels to San Antonio ended with a crash on the North Side and two people arrested.
Two males, 14 and 17, were taken into custody just after 1:30 a.m. Thursday near Patricia Drive and San Pedro Avenue, near Highway 281.
New Braunfels police said they first spotted a suspicious vehicle in the Mockingbird Heights subdivision following several car burglaries.
The suspect vehicle, a Hyundai Sonata, was reported stolen out of San Antonio, and police initiated a traffic stop.
The driver of the vehicle did not pull over, and NBPD and SAPD’s Eagle helicopter followed it back to San Antonio, from Interstate 35 to Loop 410 to San Pedro Avenue.
The car then turned into a neighborhood near Patricia Drive and crashed through a fence at Moonglow and Serenade Drive.
The suspects bailed from the vehicle, but officers were able to find two of the four suspects.
Joseph Joshua Harris, 17, of Converse, and a 14-year-old from San Antonio were detained and charged with evading arrest or detention, unlawfully carrying a weapon and theft of a firearm, police said.
Harris was booked at the Comal County Jail.
The two other suspects were not located.
Police said additional charges may be pending, and the incident is under investigation. NBPD added that four handguns were located inside the vehicle, and two of them were reported stolen.
