MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - Officers arrested four men and recovered two guns following a brief car chase outside Wolfchase Galleria and a foot chase inside the mall, according to Memphis Police Department.

The chase began when a man noticed his cousin's stolen 2001 Dodge Ram pickup truck being driven in the Wolfchase parking lot.

When officers arrived, they attempted to pull over the truck, but the driver sped off. Eventually the driver and four passengers jumped out of the truck and ran into the mall.

"They were pushing shelves over, pushing people over, just trying to get away," one witness said.

Officers chased the men inside. When the pursuit finished, officers had detained five men at three different locations. Four of those men were arrested.

Malik Williams, 20, Jamal Bowens, 18, and two unnamed juveniles now face criminal charges.

Inside the stolen truck, officers found a 9mm MPD-issued Smith and Wesson handgun as well as a sawed off shotgun.
