Sûreté du Québec say it happened on Jan. 7 when the three suspects allegedly stole phones from a shop in Granby, 80 kilometers south east of Montreal.
They then fled towards the city, initiating a police pursuit from the Champlain bridge.
They eventually stopped at Jean-Talon on Décarie, where the chase on foot began. But were soon after arrested by Montreal police.
One of the suspects was a minor and released. The other two, 18 and 19 years old, are still detained and facing charges including robbery.
