CSP said on Wednesday around 3 p.m., the two suspects, one armed with a handgun, entered a residence in Arvada and demanded money and keys to the owner's car, a blue Honda Civic, at gunpoint.
A "Be On The Lookout" was issued for the stolen Honda Civic.
Around 7:30 p.m., a CSP aircraft on another call in Southern Colorado was returning to the Centennial Airport when they spotted the Civic. In coordination with law enforcement on the ground, the crew followed the vehicle on northbound Interstate 25, just north of East Greenland Road in Larkspur.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Lone Tree Police Department, CSP troopers and other local agencies attempted to stop the suspects, but they continued northbound.
Around 8:15 p.m., Douglas County sheriff's tried to use stop sticks, a tire deflating device, on the stolen vehicle at the Havana Street and I-25 intersection. The suspects turned and drove westbound to East Lincoln Avenue.
Several minutes later, law enforcement successfully used a Tactical Vehicle Intervention to stop the vehicle at Rosemount Avenue.
The suspects exited the vehicle and fled on foot, and were pursued by officers who caught and placed them in custody at 8:24 p.m.
CSP said both of the suspects had warrants for charges that included:
Auto theft
Robbery
Burglary
Parole violations
