On Tuesday, DeKalb County officers responded just before 8 p.m. to reports of multiple vehicle break-ins in the 1400 block of Church Street and the 1500 block of Sheridan Road.
DKPD released a video of one of the suspects rummaging through a vehicle.
Police said several victims reported the suspects pointed a gun at them and threatened to shoot.
Officers later spotted the suspect vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, but police say the driver refused to pull over, leading to a chase. During the chase, authorities say the suspects tried to evade officers by switching vehicles and getting into a stolen car.
With help from the Georgia State Patrol, officers tracked the stolen vehicle to the 5400 block of Memorial Drive. That’s where police say the suspects got out and ran.

The investigation remains ongoing.
