ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) - Rochester Police took two minors into custody Wednesday following a pursuit in the city that lasted nearly 30 minutes. Police say the two teenage suspects, ages 14 and 16, were wanted on a string of robberies across Rochester. Officers located a stolen Kia on Grand Avenue after reports the driver hit a woman and attempted to rob her. News 8's Natalie Kucko sat down with RPD leaders Thursday to learn more about their pursuit policies, including when to engage and what type of tactics are used. While Rochester's violent crime numbers are down this year compared to last, RPD Capt. Greg Bello says there is still work to be done to hold repeat and first-time offenders accountable. In late August, Rochester Police initiated a pursuit involving a stolen Kia that ended on Elmwood Avenue. Three teens crashed into and killed 92-year-old Thomas Chase of Brighton. Capt. Greg Bello says in his nearly 20 years of serving with the department, it is one of only a few pursuits that has ended in a fatality. "It's a frustration that we're not only putting ourselves at risk, trying to get these violent offenders, but we're putting community members at risk because every time these cars are taking off from us, that's a danger to the entire community," said Capt. Bello. Officers utilized spike strips during Wednesday's chase, which enabled them to take the two suspects into custody at Lincoln Street. "It's an incredible frustration to our officers when we have to go out and chase the same people, or we have to go out and put effort into catching the same people over and over and over again. They're getting appearance tickets at the end. Not always, but they're getting appearance tickets at the end and that sometimes makes you question a little bit of, 'What are we doing?' They're creating a huge danger to our community and then walking away and hopefully showing up to court," said Capt. Bello. The teens arrested in Wednesday's pursuit were both charged with robbery in the second degree and possession of stolen property, among other traffic charges. The 16-year-old suspect was issued an appearance ticket the same day as the arrest. Capt. Bello says while pursuits are executed on a case-by-case basis, the department won't give up on their responsibility to hold violent offenders accountable. "We're chasing for people that are violent in our community that are committing violence and bringing violence to our community. We have a responsibility to help keep our community safe. That's our role," said Capt. Bello. The 16-year-old released on an appearance ticket Wednesday was expected back in court Thursday. The 14-year-old was taken to Monroe County's Children's Detention Center. The investigation is ongoing.
