Three Juveniles Arrested After Calexico Pursuit, Firearm Tossed

Three juveniles were booked into Imperial County Juvenile Hall over the weekend following a late-night vehicle pursuit through Calexico. Night-shift officers spotted a stolen Hyundai and attempted a traffic stop; the driver refused to yield, triggering a chase through local streets during which a passenger displayed a handgun from the window before it was thrown onto the roadway. The pursuit ended when the vehicle became disabled, and all three occupants fled on foot but were taken into custody without further incident. Police recovered the discarded firearm at the scene, and no injuries were reported.
