AZDPS Grappler Stops Occupied Stolen Vehicle | Phoenix

05.01.2022 | 12:00 AM | PHOENIX – AZDPS troopers located an occupied stolen vehicle near 27th Avenue and Thomas around 12:00 AM Sunday morning. Troopers called for additional DPS and Phoenix Police resources including an air unit and a DPS trooper in a patrol vehicle equipped with a Grappler Police Bumper. Units followed the vehicle northbound on 27th Avenue until the Grappler equipped patrol vehicle and air unit could catch up. DPS devised a plan to deploy the Grappler first rather than attempt a traffic stop to eliminate the possibility of a pursuit. Troopers deployed the Grappler device successfully stopping the vehicle and initiated a high risk traffic stop near 27th Avenue and Lamar Road just south of Glendale Avenue. The driver and one passenger were ordered out of the vehicle at gunpoint and taken into custody without incident. For licensing, contact info@onscene.tv Follow our other platforms!
