Officers said they requested assistance from the Broward Sheriff's Office aviation unit to safely conduct a felony traffic stop at Interstate 95 and Griffin Road.

"The driver stopped the vehicle and as the officers began to exit their vehicles, the driver of the stolen vehicle fled from the traffic stop and shortly after crashed into another vehicle," police said.

It was unclear if anyone was hurt in that crash.

That's when King and Thornton allegedly got out of the Toyota and took off on foot. Authorities were able to find them and arrest them.

Both suspects are being held at Broward County Main Jail.
