Three people were arrested on Tuesday after a chase ended in Fort Lauderdale when a grappler was used to stop the fleeing car, authorities said.<\/p>\n
According to Fort Lauderdale Police, at around 11:30 a.m., an officer found a vehicle that was involved in a felony in Pompano Beach.<\/p>\n
Police said the vehicle had previously fled from Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies.<\/p>\n
When the officer tried to do a traffic stop, the vehicle didn’t stop and a pursuit ensued.<\/p>\n
During the pursuit, BSO assisted FLPD from the ground and the air, and a police grappler was used on the vehicle, ending the chase in the 1600 block of West Sunrise Boulevard.<\/p>\n
After the vehicle was stopped, three suspects got out of the car but were arrested.<\/p>\n
The identities and the charges the trio is facing were not released.<\/p>\n
Fort Lauderdale Police started using what is known as a police grappler bumper last year.<\/p>\n
The device releases a net from the front of the police cruiser and wraps around the back tire of a fleeing car.<\/p>\n
Police said the goal is to potentially stop a suspect whose trying to flee without endangering the public.<\/p>\n
NBC6 has reached out to BSO, which is now leading the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three people were arrested on Tuesday after a chase ended in Fort Lauderdale when a grappler was used…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":380925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-380924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=380924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=380924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=380924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=380924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
