Officials say the suspects obtained an undisclosed amount of narcotics and cash before fleeing in a vehicle.

Shortly afterwards, they were spotted by authorities. An attempt was made by police to stop their vehicle but they tried to make off — leading officers on a pursuit.

Officials say the suspects, ages 14, 14, 16 and 18, only made it a short distance before they were nabbed and arrested.

All four are now facing several robbery, weapons, and driving-related charges.
