What started as a reported shoplifting and a "disturbance" at a Cabela's store ended with seven children being arrested following a pursuit.
Woodbury Police said it was called to the Cabela's at 8400 Hudson Rd. at 1:37 p.m. Saturday, where employees said "several teens were involved in a disturbance and shoplifting incident."
According to police, the youths were reportedly "associated with a stolen vehicle," and had been attempting to steal goods from the store including an Airsoft gun and a pistol magazine.
The suspects fled a Woodbury police patrol car in the stolen vehicle, heading north into Lake Elmo on County Road 13. A few miles later, police used a PIT maneuver to stop the vehicle around two miles north of I-94.
The suspects then fled on foot, sparking a search using K9 officers and drones, with several local residents calling in sightings following a CodeRED emergency warning.
Seven boys aged 12 to 15 were taken into custody, and remain under investigation.
