Police search for weapons after chase

HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP) - Holyoke Police say they have three suspects in custody after leading police on a chase through five blocks of the city. Police are now trying to figure out if the suspects opened fire on police.

It happened in neighborhoods surrounding Sergeant Street. Police say the chase started after a black Nissan Maxima refused to pull over for police.

Holyoke Police Sergeant Daniel Reardon tells 22News they were assisted by the State Police Helicopter and K-9 Dog units.

Police say they're searching for evidence that the suspects were carrying guns after pursuing officers say it looked like the suspects were carrying something, and neighbors say they heard gun shots.

One resident in the neighborhood says its troubling to find out there may have been gunfire. "They're in harms way, some heard gun shots over there, the parents are in the house, they didn't know whats going on either so just thinking about the kids at the time ya know," said Melvis Romero of Holyoke.

This incident is still under investigation. All three men are in custody.
