Five teenagers are facing charges connected to an armed carjacking and police chase Friday.

TribLive news partner WTAE reported the teenagers were armed with at least one rifle and two handguns when they carjacked a woman and led police on a chase along Route 65. They crashed on the West End Bridge and ran from the car.

Officers arrested Aaron Reddix, 15, Jeremiah Venson, 15, Damien Lamont Hill, 15, Angelo Saxton, 16, and Jaron Crew, 17.

Court records show they are charged with several counts, including robbery of a motor vehicle and possession of a firearm by a minor.
