Police attempted to pull the vehicle over, but when the juveniles didn’t stop, a pursuit began.
The juveniles drove the vehicle into the bayou at Mason Park. Two of the suspects tried to swim away from officers, while the other two gave up immediately.
All four suspects were eventually taken into custody after an HPD K9 was brought in to locate the two suspects who tried to swim away.
It is unknown at this time if the couple sustained injuries during the carjacking.
