Fishers Police Department (FPD) officers successfully apprehended a group of theft suspects Friday using a precision immobilization technique (PIT maneuver) to stop a vehicle allegedly connected to thefts at Target.

The incident began just after noon when FPD received a call about a theft in progress at the Target store on Commercial Drive. Target Asset Protection notified police that known theft suspects were inside the store. As officers arrived on the scene, the suspect vehicle was leaving the store and headed toward Technology Drive.

Officers attempted to pull over the suspect vehicle, which initially stopped. During a high-risk stop, officers detained three men in the vehicle. However, a female passenger suddenly climbed into the driver’s seat and sped away, prompting a pursuit.

Police believed the high-speed chase along Technology Drive posed a danger to officers, the public, and the other suspects due to the reckless nature of the female driver. FPD officers quickly initiated a PIT maneuver to stop the vehicle, and the female driver was taken into custody.

Once all four suspects were in police custody, officers searched the vehicle and apparently found nearly thirty stolen items valued at $1,275.25. Officers also say they discovered two illegally possessed handguns.

The three male suspects and the female driver were arrested and transported to Hamilton County Jail on various charges.

The suspects arrested and charges are listed below.  Also below is a video, from Fox59 News, of the PIT maneuver and arrests.
