STAMFORD — A vehicle that released a white powdery substance near Stillmeadow Elementary School led to a police chase that ended with multiple collisions Friday afternoon.
Stamford Police patrol officers responded to the elementary school around 2:30 p.m. after receiving reports of a vehicle explosion that released a white powder.
The vehicle, described as a blue Crown Victoria resembling a police car, fled as officers arrived at the scene.
Officers pursued the vehicle through the city due to concerns about public safety.
The chase ended at High Ridge Park when the suspect vehicle collided with multiple police cruisers.
Two juveniles who were not Stamford residents were taken into custody following the incident.
The Stamford Police Bomb Squad later determined the powdery substance came from an accidentally activated fire suppression device in the vehicle and posed no threat.
Investigators do not believe the school was targeted, and officials say there is no ongoing danger.
The incident resulted in several vehicle collisions and injuries to both the suspects and responding officers.
No injuries to members of the public have been reported.
The incident remains under investigation.
