Police arrested three people Friday night after a stolen car chase from Camden County onto the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, which connects New Jersey with Pennsylvania.
The driver of the car was fleeing Camden County police officers who had attempted to perform a traffic stop before the vehicle drove onto the bridge, police said.
The fleeing driver attempted to wedge the vehicle through slow-moving traffic before coming to a full stop at the bridge’s base, where police were waiting.
Philadelphia police arrested the three and recovered a gun. There were no injuries reported in the chase, according to a CBS report.
Police said that the suspects are part of an organized stolen auto theft ring. Their names and charges were not immediately available.
