Six suspects fled from the Hyundai. Five were taken into custody shortly after.
Jakari Waters, Marquise Johnson, and Malachi Johnson, all 16, and Coreyon Williams and Markese Todd, both 15, were charged with aggravated robbery and evading arrest. Williams was also charged with juvenile handgun possession after a loaded 9mm was found in the stolen Hyundai.
