NEW ORLEANS — Police arrested six teenagers in New Orleans Thursday evening after a spree of robberies, burglaries and car thefts led to a police chase.
Jarmon James, who became 18-years-old on Feb. 4, was the lone adult arrested among the teenagers, a police statement said. Three suspects were 16, one was 15, another was 13. All suspects were male.
They were all arrested after the police chase that ended less than a quarter of a mile away — about three blocks — from where it began, near Gentilly Boulevard and Elysian Fields Avenue.
