The vehicle, which was occupied by four subjects, failed to stop for the investigators who had red emergency lights and sirens activated. The suspect vehicle went through several streets in Cutler to Ave 408 were it continued west bound reaching speeds of approx. 75 MPH. The vehicle turned north on Rd 112 and then west on Ave 412.  A weapon was thrown out of the vehicle by one of the occupants which were retrieved by assisting personnel. The driver of the Honda pulled to the side of the road on the area of Ave 412 and Rd 108. The right front and rear passengers fled on foot and the two other occupants were detained in the vehicle and taken into custody without further incident.

A perimeter was set up around the orange grove by assisting personnel.
