West St. Paul police arrested a pair of carjacking suspects late Friday after a pursuit that went into St. Paul, authorities said.
The suspects — both 17 years old — are being held at the Dakota County Juvenile Services Center, according to officials.
At about 10:40 p.m. Friday, West St. Paul officers saw a Dodge Durango around South Robert Street and Butler Avenue that had just been reported stolen. When they attempted to stop the SUV, the driver refused to pull over and fled in the vehicle, according to officials.
Officers were able to stop the pursuit once a Minnesota State Patrol helicopter arrived to track the car and followed it to the 900 block of Farrington Street in St. Paul. Two people were seen leaving the car and entering a home.
Police were eventually able to enter the home and arrest the two suspects with the assistance of the State Patrol, St. Paul Police Department and Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.
