Two Michigan City teens are in the Lake County Juvenile Center, accused of carjacking.
Indiana State Police say it happened around 7:45 last night in Michigan City. The victim wasn't hurt.
About an hour later, police got a call about an erratic driver on I-80 in Lake County. A Trooper stopped the suspect vehicle just west of Cline Avenue. The trooper says the vehicle took off when he approached it.
Police say the trooper had just terminated pursuing the vehicle when it ran up on a curve at 165th and Kennedy and the 3 occupants fled the vehicle. The trooper chased after the driver, but lost him about three blocks from the car. A perimeter was set up and a K-9 called in, but the driver was not found.
Police say the other two occupants of the vehicle, a 14 and 15 year old, ran to a residence on 164th Place in Hammond. Police say a legally armed man was walking his dog and saw what was going on and stopped the two while a neighbor called police.
Police say the 14 and 15 year old will have an initial hearing on charges of Resisting Law Enforcement, Criminal Trespassing, and Armed Carjacking, on Monday.
