ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC)— Three people are in custody after Rochester Police say they chased after two cars overnight.
Police told News10NBC this started with an alert for a stolen car out of Greece, with suspects wanted in a gunpoint robbery. Just before 10 p.m., Wednesday officers spotted the stolen car in the city—then started to go after the car. At some point, officers say two people got out and ran, but police caught one of the suspects, a 16-year-old.

The second wanted suspect, a 32-year-old man, hopped into another car, which police later said was also stolen in a separate case. The man was eventually caught near Bay and Copeland Streets after making another run.
A woman who police say was driving the second car was also arrested.
The 16-year-old was turned over to Greece Police in connection to the initial robbery, but no charges have been filed in that case.
