A high-speed chase around North Charlotte came to a sudden end Thursday night.

Police said the two suspects crashed into a street sign just off Orr Road. Neither was injured, and both were arrested.

Police said officers on routine patrol ran the tag for the silver minivan and realized it had been stolen early Thursday morning.

Investigators said the pursuit reached high speeds but was kept under control.

"At times it did reach a high rate of speed' however, officers with communication with headquarters continued to be well-maintained and monitored pursuit throughout the whole time," said Officer Jean Wassenaar.

Police arrested a woman and a man with a gun.
