ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Three minors were detained Wednesday afternoon after deputies pursued a stolen vehicle through Roseville, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.

Around 2:45 p.m., gang unit deputies spotted a gray Kia near Elkhorn Boulevard and Diablo driving without license plates. Deputies said the vehicle also matched the description of a car reportedly involved in a weapon-brandishing incident in Sacramento.

Deputies attempted a traffic stop, but the Kia drove off, prompting a pursuit.

The chase traveled eastbound on Interstate 80 before exiting at Douglas Boulevard in Roseville, where it continued for about eight minutes, deputies said.

During the pursuit, deputies deployed a tire-deflation device, but the Kia kept going, striking several vehicles, deputies said. Deputies eventually used a PIT maneuver to stop the vehicle.

All three occupants, who are minors, were detained without further incident. Deputies also confirmed the Kia had been reported stolen.

Officials said the investigation remains ongoing.
