Police seized two guns and arrested three young men following a reported car chase near Jewish War Veterans Drive in Boston Tuesday night.
The encounter began when police tried to stop a car driving upwards of 45 miles per hour in the area, according to a report. The car’s operator then sped away, weaving through traffic and making “several evasive turns” before another police cruiser blocked the car at the nearby Morton Street rotary, police said.
