While one of the officers spoke with her, police say 27-year-old Taja Lewis and 28-year-old Oudasha Gause drove up alongside the parked vehicle being held as evidence. They opened the trunk using a spare key, and a struggle broke moments later between them and the officers. A bag was removed from the vehicle's trunk and placed into the awaiting car.

Police say Lewis and Gause were taken into custody by the officers. Meanwhile, the other car sped off towards the exit, but was stopped by responding officers arriving at the scene. The bag was tossed from the car and three loaded handguns were later found inside.
