SUMMARY: Three teens, including a 17-year-old and two 15-year-olds, were arrested in Brook Haven following a high-speed chase involving a stolen SUV linked to a Dicab County shooting. Police used license plate readers and drones to locate the vehicle as the teens attempted to steal another car. The dangerous pursuit, reaching speeds near 100 mph, ended in a crash on Peach Tree Industrial Boulevard. Authorities believe the teens are connected to a recent crime spree and recovered evidence linking them to other offenses. Brook Haven Police Chief Brandon Gurley highlighted the growing issue of juveniles involved in serious, high-risk crimes and urged community support to combat this trend.

Three teens in Brookhaven face serious charges after a high-speed chase through multiple cities. Brookhaven police released new details and a video of the pursuit and those involved.
