Newark

Police in Newark arrested two suspects and recovered a vehicle reported stolen and under investigation by NJ State Police Thursday morning. 

Officers attempted to pull over an Audi occupied by suspects wanted for felonies in the region around 12:24 a.m. 

According to preliminary reports, the driver sped away from officers in the vehicle, ultimately initiating a pursuit that touched off in several areas of Newark's North Ward. 

Two suspects bailed from the car on Broadway and Delavan Avenue, prompting a foot pursuit in the Newark community. 

The first suspect was captured almost immediately while officers canvassed the area for the remaining masked suspect, who was taken into custody a short time later. 

Police reported no severe injuries from the incident.
