The IMPD, ISP, and Marion University Police worked together to locate and arrest five teens early Sunday morning after they were allegedly involved in an armed carjacking.

On Saturday, November 7, 2026, just after 11:00 p.m., IMPD Southwest District officers were dispatched to the 5900 block of Beachview Drive on a report of an armed carjacking. When officers arrived, they located a victim who stated that at least four males approached him and demanded his vehicle keys. One of the males pistol-whipped the victim while taking his car keys and his vehicle.

Officers quickly reviewed nearby video footage, which helped them obtain descriptions of the five individuals matching the descriptions given by the victim. Officers had dispatch notify the Indiana State Police (ISP) of the suspect and stolen vehicle descriptions.

On Sunday, November 8, 2026, an ISP trooper located the stolen vehicle traveling on Indy’s Northwest side. IMPD officers caught up with the trooper, and the ISP trooper attempted a traffic stop, using his vehicle lights and siren. The suspects fled from officers in the stolen vehicle, and a vehicle pursuit was initiated.

An IMPD officer performed a successful Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) south of 38th Street along Cold Spring Road, and the suspects fled from the stolen vehicle on foot. An ISP trooper and an IMPD officer took one suspect into custody after a brief foot pursuit. During the foot pursuit, that suspect was seen tossing a gun, which was later recovered and found to be equipped with a machine gun conversion device. ISP troopers, IMPD officers, and Marion University officers located the four other suspects.

Robbery detectives responded to the scene and began their investigation. Ultimately, the five teens, two 15-year-olds, one 16-year-old, and two 17-year-olds, were arrested and preliminarily charged with robbery.

An arrest and a charge are merely accusations, and the suspects should be considered innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

IMPD have arrested a 42-year-old male for his alleged role in a deadly hit-and-run that occurred in early October near W. Michigan Street and Grande Avenue.

On Monday, October 4th, just before 10:30 p.m., IMPD Southwest District officers were called to a serious injury crash involving a bicyclist and an unknown vehicle. It was determined that the victim, a 56-year-old woman, had died at the scene.

Video footage from nearby businesses, as well as automated license plate readers (ALPRs), helped detectives identify the vehicle and later the driver involved in the crash. Crash investigators pushed further and, using several investigative means and a whole lot of math to narrow down a timeline and distance traveled, secured charges for the driver.

On October 29, 2026, the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office issued a warrant for the driver’s arrest for the charges of leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death and driving while suspended with a prior conviction. Two days later, on October 31st, the suspect turned himself in.

An arrest and a charge are merely accusations, and the individual arrested should be considered innocent until proven guilty in court.
