The system for capturing a vehicle is a device, which is mounted on the front of a first vehicle for deploying a grasping hook for grasping the rear bumper of a second vehicle. In operation, the system begins in a locked configuration, with a hook member being positioned rearward with respect to a lower shaft. When the first vehicle brings an actuating arm in contact with the rear bumper of the second vehicle, pressure on the actuating arm generates rotation in the upper shaft. This rotation of the upper shaft causes disengagement of the lower end of an engaging member from a recess formed in a disc mounted on the lower shaft, causing the resiliently biased lower shaft to rotate. Rotation of the lower shaft rotates an elongated hook support and the hook member into the deployed configuration, with the hook member grasping the rear bumper of the second vehicle.

A vehicle-to-vehicle grasping apparatus which utilizes a pair of top and bottom clamp fingers to grasp the back end of a fleeing vehicle. The clamp fingers are opened and closed through the use of a pneumatic cylinder and rod. The grasping apparatus is connected to the front bumper of a motor vehicle. When not in use, the clamp fingers of the grasping apparatus are maintained in a closed position. When a fleeing vehicle is to be stopped, the chase vehicle operator would cause the pneumatic cylinder of the grasping apparatus to be pressurized so that the clamp fingers are in an open position. Once the impact or proximity triggers of the grasping apparatus come into contact with the fleeing vehicle, the clamp fingers instantly close upon the fleeing vehicle's rear bumper or trunk. By applying the chase vehicle's brakes, the fleeing vehicle will be sufficiently slowed or stopped.
