Police say their ride ties straight back to a bunch of recent shootings and fire bombings, hitting southwest neighborhoods. The drama kicked off when the Audi blew past the stop, tearing onto the M4 motorway.

Witnesses spotted the suspects decked out in black gear and masks, legging it across traffic, which had everyone on edge.

Cops locked them down fast, with help from the pole air chopper and dog squad. Inside the Audi, they found a semi-automatic rifle and a pistol, plus the men aged 24, 25, and 28 got hauled to Auburn.
