A Bellevue police officer spotted the speeding vehicle and took up the pursuit. The driver pulled over near Highway 75. At the scene two women were detained. One was the driver of the vehicle.

Eyewitnesses helped police identify the suspects and quickly catch them. The two women were arrested for Possession of Stolen Property. The two men were each charged with Possession of Stolen Property as well as Obstruction of a Police Officer.
The suspects and the investigation were then turned over to Papillion Police.
