Four armed-robbery suspects are in custody after they fled from a fiery crash Monday in Ravenswood.

The driver of a Hyundai that was reported stolen was heading south about 10:40 a.m. in the 5100 block of North Oakley Avenue when it struck a stopped Chicago Streets and Sanitation vehicle, according to Chicago police.

The collision caused the Hyundai to catch fire, and four people left the car and fled the area, police said.

They were taken into custody a short time later. Three guns were recovered, police said.

The stolen Hyundai allegedly had been used in an armed robbery, according to police, but the location and time of that robbery was not available.

Charges have not been filed.

No injuries were reported in the crash.

Area detectives are investigating.
