CLEVELAND, Ohio - Four bank robbery suspects were taken into custody Tuesday when they crashed a stolen car during a police chase that ended in Cleveland.

Investigators believe the four suspects committed hold-ups at banks in Fairview Park and Brook Park before a police officer spotted the stolen car.

Several police cruisers and a Cleveland police helicopter chased the stolen car until it crashed into two cars shortly before noon on East 156th Street near Damon Avenue, a Cleveland Division of the FBI spokeswoman said in a news release.

The FBI did not release the identities of the four suspects taken into custody. Two suspects were questioned by investigators, while two others were taken to local hospitals for treatment, the FBI spokeswoman said.

The four suspects are believed to be responsible for a robbery that happened about 9 a.m. at North Coast Credit Union on Lorain Road in Fairview Park, and a second hold-up that happened a short time later at Best Rewards Credit Union on Smith Road in Brook Park, the FBI spokeswoman said.

Each of the robberies involved two men in hooded sweatshirts taking money at gunpoint. The men were aggressive and threatened bank employees during the hold-ups, the FBI spokeswoman said.

The FBI spokeswoman did not say where or when a police officer first spotted a white Chrysler 200 that is believed the be the getaway car used in the robberies. Several more police cruisers and a Cleveland police helicopter joined in a loose surveillance of the car, the FBI spokeswoman said.

The Chrysler increased its speed before it crashed into one moving car and one parked car on Cleveland's East Side. No other injuries were reported.

Investigators learned the Chrysler was stolen during a Monday carjacking in Cleveland Heights. Details of the carjacking were not immediately available.

Investigators are working to determine whether the four suspects may be linked to other bank robberies in the Greater Cleveland area, the FBI spokeswoman said.
