CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Reports of a stolen vehicle led to a chase and the detainment of two minors near Ray High School on Monday morning.
Corpus Christi Police Department officials said they responded to a call for a stolen vehicle around 10 a.m. near Ray High School.
When officers arrived on-scene, six people fled from the vehicle on foot. One of them was immediately detained in the pursuit.
