ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Three people were taken into custody Sunday afternoon in Rochester after a larceny, and subsequent police chase in a stolen vehicle, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
Two people from Rochester, a 40-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man, reportedly worked
together to steal from the Runnings store in Sweden, before taking off in a vehicle reported stolen from Seneca County, according to deputies, who said they were called to investigate at the store around 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
Deputies later found the vehicle and attempted to stop the driver, to no avail, and a chase ensued.
The pursuit ended in a crash around Chili Avenue and Woodbine Avenue in Rochester, where deputies reported no injuries or damage to the uninvolved people or vehicles.

All three people had multiple outstanding warrants, according to MCSO. Charges are pending, and the investigation continues. ...read more read less
