Two men carjacked a woman’s vehicle at gunpoint Saturday night, leading to a police chase and standoff at a South St. Paul house that lasted nearly six hours, police said.

A woman was forced out of her vehicle about 6:25 p.m. in the 400 block of Camber Avenue. Within 10 minutes, a South St. Paul police officer spotted the vehicle near Babcock Trail and 50th Street East in Inver Grove Heights and gave chase, according to South St. Paul Police Chief William Messerich.

The pursuit took the officer through Inver Grove Heights, St. Paul, Mendota Heights, West St. Paul and South St. Paul, where the fleeing driver crashed into a South St. Paul squad car about 7 p.m.

The suspects ran off near the 500 block of First Avenue South. Police set up a perimeter to search for them and soon learned they had entered a home in the 400 block of Camber Avenue, near where the carjacking had occurred. Related Articles South St. Paul grants Serbian Hall new life

When the suspects refused to leave the house and surrender, a Dakota County SWAT team was called in. One man came out and surrendered, but the second man refused. The SWAT team entered the house and took the man into custody shortly before midnight, police said.
