RALEIGH, N.C. -

Raleigh police have arrested the final of three suspects after a high speed chase that ended at Hodges Street and Capital Boulevard around noon.

According to police, three suspects in a black car with South Carolina tags were stopped and then fled the scene. NBC 17 Reporter Kim Genardo reports that there are at least 15 Raleigh Police cruisers are on the scene with support by the Highway Patrol.

Two suspects were taken into custody shortly after the chase ended. The third and final suspect was caught just after 1 p.m.

The Highway Patrol helicopter flew over the scene to help with the search.. The search had been centered east to west over a creek area at the intersection. Officers are also out on the scene with rifles drawn.

Earlier on Thursday, Raleigh police officers responded to a bank robbery call at a Sun Trust location. An officer spotted the car in the chase and began a pursuit. Shots were fired, hitting the patrol car and that is when the chase began.
