Authorities detained three teenagers and are searching for two more after a stolen car chase Wednesday morning, the Georgia State Patrol said.
Atlanta police were following a stolen Toyota Corolla on Piedmont Road that was traveling at a high rate of speed when it passed two GSP patrol cars, GSP Sgt. Stacey Collins said.
Troopers joined the chase and followed the suspects onto I-285, Collins said. Within a mile of getting on the interstate, a trooper performed a PIT maneuver on the car.

Five people inside the car escaped after it spun out, Collins said. They jumped into a thick, wooded area behind a neighborhood next to the interstate.
Authorities detained a 15-year-old girl who was climbing the fence. Collins said two other teens, a girl and a boy, were detained by Sandy Springs police hours later.
The remaining two male suspects are still at large.
Burglary tools and a fully loaded stolen gun were found in the car during a search, Collins said.
