Columbus, OH – Detectives from the Columbus Division of Police are seeking assistance from the public to identify two suspects involved in an aggravated robbery.

On Sunday, at approximately 6:25 p.m., a victim was sitting in his vehicle when six suspects approached him. The suspects displayed handguns, demanded the vehicle, and then fled the scene in the victim’s car.

Shortly thereafter, patrol officers located the stolen vehicle and initiated a pursuit. This chase culminated in a crash in the downtown area, leading to the apprehension of four of the six suspects.
