Mason City Police say 18-year-olds Larry Carthan of Mason City and Jordan Brown of Glenwood, Illinois, along with 20-year-old Antwine Wilson of East St. Louis, Illinois, burglarized a vehicle on South Pierce Avenue on September 7th. Investigators say one of them had a knife during the crime.  When officers encountered the suspects’ vehicle, Wilson was accused of leading authorities on a chase through Mason City reaching speeds of 130 miles an hour.  

MCPD continued chasing the suspects until Nora Springs, handing the pursuit off to the Iowa State Patrol and the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office. The vehicle crashed out near Rudd and the subjects were apprehended.
