Officers were following the stolen vehicle near the 200 block of SW 320th St. around 2 a.m. when the suspect driver made an abrupt turn. One of the officers was unable to negotiate the turn and their vehicle went into the ditch and struck a power pole, stated Cmdr. Kurt Schwan, with the Federal Way Police Department.

Police arrested two suspects and there were no injuries.
