GARNER, N.C. (WNCN) – After a chase and crash Monday evening , Garner police recovered guns, a stolen car, and marijuana.
“We got what we call a Flock hit, where one of our cameras hit on a stolen vehicle,” said Grner Police Capt. Chris Adams.
Adams said one of their 20 Flock Safety license plate recognition cameras detected the stolen Kia Forte. He said police tried to stop the car but the driver sped off and began a chase that started around Junction Boulevard and Tryon Road.
Officers could be heard on a police scanner describing the car reaching up to 97 mph.
After a short chase, Adams said the car crashed into multiple other vehicles near the intersection of Tryon and Lake Wheeler Roads. Police said four people were injured including a toddler — fortunately, the injuries were minor.
TC Yung, the owner of Appliances 4 Less, said the sound of the Kia crashing first caught his attention.
