Two young adults and three teens were hanging out at Cypress Grove Park in a car driven by a young woman.

Two of the teenage boys had recently got picked up by their friends and "became angered when the other three would not take them to buy marijuana," Oakley police said. 

Those teens "forced the females to drive away at gunpoint," police said.

The two teens ended up stopping on Highway 24 in Orinda when the car they were in became disabled during a pursuit with police and the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office.

Police also determined both suspects had previous warrants for their arrest.
