Police Pursuit Car Jacking

August 6, 2010 - A high speed chase that stretched from west Phoenix to Scottsdale.

The chase played out live on ABC15 from Air15 Friday.

Sgt. Steve Martos of the Phoenix Police Department said that officers originally tried to stop the man and the woman near 51st Avenue and Thomas for a traffic stop, but they refused to stop.

Martos said the two met up with another couple and ended up getting into their vehicle. That couple eventually got out and the two suspects pulled into a strip mall at 107th Avenue & Lower Buckeye.

Martos said an undercover cop who was in the area attempted to confront them and that is when they pointed a gun at the officer.

The officer opened fire hitting the man while the pair took off, car-jacking a woman and fleeing with her in her car.

  • Stupid guy in left lane at 1:07. Cops had him boxed in and he decides to pull away. The chase resumes.

  • That was like being chased by the CIA or something. Not a single marked car in the mix until one showed at the very end. It's like he was being chased by a contractor, a landscaper, a soccer mom, and a grocery delivery truck. What the hell with all the unmarked cars in Phoenix...

    • They appear to prefer large lumbering ungainly vehicles, which turn like the Bismark and have the acceleration of a sloth.

    • It takes undocumented police to deal with undocumented temporary guest workers or whatever the fuck they're called this week.

    • Those guys are the badasses of Phoenix law enforcement. They're all over the capitol when there's a hot topic of debate with protesters and what not. They even have sniper teams on top of the House of Reps and Senate buildings. The one truck in the bottom left corner of your screen with the 'work-truck' look with hardened bed cover is super hard core. Trust me.

    • Actually it's not a bad technic. As stupid as the suspect was driving, he really wasn't going all that fast. If he had a black and white, on his bumper, he would just started driving faster and faster. Trying to get away from it. This just seemed to keep him confused. Hence all the u-turns.

      The only disadvantage to using unmarked vehicles, that I can think of. Would be that it doesn't give much warning to innocent bystanders. Nothing says get out of the way better, then seeing a line of 10 bla More..

  • There need's to be a 5 year mandatory sentence for running from police in a vehicle.

  • He has numerous red light and stop sign violations. His insurance is gonna go through the roof. Not to mention the fender benders left in his wake too.

    • If he ever gets his license back when he is released from prison in 20 years for kidnapping and carjacking first. He won't even think about his insurance rates until his ass stops hurting from being pounded by his cellmate daily for a couple decades.
