Five people linked to an armed robbery of a marijuana dispensary in Portland, Ore., on Friday have been taken into custody, according to reports.

The arrests followed a high-speed chase on Interstate 84 that saw the fleeing vehicle reach speeds of 100 miles per hour, FOX 12 of Oregon reported.

At one point, the fleeing vehicle exited the interstate and the five occupants scattered on foot into a residential neighborhood. Two people were soon apprehended while the remaining three were captured around 6 p.m. – about four hours after the vehicle chase began, FOX 12 reported.
