SARALAND, AL. What started as shoplifting at a Walmart, quickly turned into a police pursuit involving several law enforcement agencies.

Saraland police arrived in the area and noticed two people fleeing in a U-Haul truck.

A high-speed chase ensued and as the vehicle headed into Mobile, more officers joined the chase including the mobile Police Department. By then, the driver of the fleeing truck had already racked up multiple charges.

Eventually, the chase ended on Airport Boulevard and Huntleigh Way, according to police.

Officers said they discovered a firearm that was used during the theft which police said made what happened, a robbery, a serious felony that could send the suspects to prison.

A male and a female were taken into custody at the scene.
