Tulsa Police were involved in a chase Wednesday morning that ended with the suspects' vehicle ramming two police cars.

The chase began near I-44 and Peoria and ended near 61st and Lewis at about 11 a.m.

Police said they were conducting surveillance while looking for some robbery suspects when the suspects got into a car and the chase began. Police said they believe one passenger is connected to a string of robberies in which they arrested a suspect on Tuesday.

Police said they don't know yet if the driver and the other passenger will be connected to the robberies.

According to officers at the scene, the suspects drove south on Lewis until they encountered traffic at 61st Street. The car hit a bystander's car, then backed up into two police cars, a marked unit and an unmarked unit.

It then got stuck on the median.

Police took all three men into custody. Police said they found guns and all kinds of other items in the car that they believe were stolen. "Jam packed full of stuff," said one officer.

The driver will be booked on complaints of assault and battery on a police officer and hit and run for hitting a bystander's car. Police said it's likely the other two will be booked in connection to the string of armed robberies.
