Two Davenport police officers are recovering from injuries after their squad car collided with a suspect’s vehicle during a chase on Tuesday afternoon.
A vehicle was reported stolen during a burglary in Bettendorf. Minutes later, a 911 caller reported seeing occupants in that stolen car waving guns in Davenport. Police responded and found the car, which refused to pull over.
The chase only lasted a few blocks, ending with the suspects ramming a police car. Four juveniles jumped out and fled on foot. All four were captured and two 14-year-olds, both from Davenport, were charged based on outstanding warrants. More charges are pending.
The two officers who were hurt were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
