Authorities found the vehicle parked with its lights off outside a convenience store located on the 5800 block of Southcenter Boulevard. It is believed the suspects were gearing up to rob this store when officers approached. The vehicle swiftly fled northbound on Interstate 5, prompting a police pursuit.
