Man, 4 teens tied to car break-ins arrested after police chase
By: Five suspects are facing charges after they were accused of breaking into multiple cars earlier this month.
Atlanta police shared a video of the Feb 1. police chase.
According to APD, its Phoenix Air Unit and Georgia State Patrol spotted a car involved in break-ins earlier that day.
Five people inside the car jumped out and started running after crashing into a parked car. Officers quickly handcuffed one of the suspects before spotting another one.
Police then arrested 23-year-old Deshunte Andrews, who appeared visibly out of breath and even asked officers for something to drink.
“Bruh, can I get something to drink, please? Can I get something to drink,” Andrews can be heard saying on an officer’s bodycam.
Andrews is charged with failure to signal, flee or attempt to elude police, reckless driving, hit-and-run, obstruction of officers, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The teens face various charges, including obstruction of an officer. One teen was also charged with possession of a firearm by a minor and theft by receiving (in possession of a stolen firearm).
Andrews was booked into the Fulton County Jail and the teens were released to their guardians.
