Three siblings wanted for bank robbery and the attempted murder of a police officer have been arrested in Colorado, ending a nationwide manhunt.

State police said the two brothers and sister, dubbed the Dougherty Gang, were captured after a 100mph (160 km/h) car chase that ended with a crash.

Last week they allegedly shot at police in Florida and robbed a Georgia bank.

The three had been on the run for more than a week when they were spotted at a campsite in Colorado.
