Original story:

St. Charles Police have arrested two 18-year-old men in connection with an armed robbery of Steak 'n Shake on First Capitol Drive early Wednesday morning. 

According to a release from police, the two men entered Steak 'n Shake and displayed a handgun while demanding money at around 4 a.m. this morning. An employee gave the pair money before they ran off through the rear exit. 

Later, St. Charles Police found the duo on Bel Rae Court, a small street located near the First Capitol and Interstate 70 intersection. When police attempted to stop the two in their car, the two men rammed two police cars in a botched attempt to escape. 

Formal charges are pending, the release said, and two officers received minor injuries and are being treated at a local medical facility. No one from Steak 'n Shake was injured.
