4 Houston Teens Arrested After Carjacking Crime Spree: Police Say

HOUSTON — A crime spree for four Houston area teens ended Monday morning after they led police on a short pursuit in two stolen cars, police said. The crime spree began at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday, when according to police, the teens carjacked a pizza delivery driver of his silver Chevy Impala at Deering Drive and Beltway 8.

Police said a friend of the delivery driver who was searching the area nearby saw the car about three hours after the carjacking.

The friend walked up to the car thinking it was unoccupied and was surprised by the four teens who got out and started shooting at him.

The man, who was not hurt, said the four teens took off in the stolen Impala.
