These modern day Bonnie and Clydes finally meet justice.



Daily Mail




Shackled and in wheelchairs, the infamous Dougherty siblings were led by authorities to a waiting police vehicle hours after they were finally captured in a high-speed police chase and shoot-out on a Colorado highway.



Bank-robbing stripper Lee Grace Dougherty was shot in the leg during the dramatic final shoot-out while her two brothers Dylan and Ryan were injured in the 20-mile, 100mph crash.



The injured trio were then taken to Spanish Peak's Medical Center to be treated before being transferred in the hospital outfits to prison.

During the earlier chase, Lee-Grace, 29, got out of the gang's high-powered Subaru Impreza and started shooting at police with a handgun. Officers returned fire, hitting her in the leg.



Her brothers Ryan, 21, and Dylan, 26, fled in a different directions and were arrested a short time later. One brother was apprehended with the help of construction workers who tackled and subdued him.











All three were arrested after the pursuit and gunfight south of the town of Pueblo.

Police recovered two AK-47 assault rifles and a MAC-11 pistol at the crash site. At least one of the AK-47s were used in the rolling gun battle with police.




Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said about the gang's capture: 'I'm proud to say we won. We continuously said that if these three fugitives wanted a battle with law enforcement, we would win that battle. And that's what happened today.'
