Police are looking for four teenagers who caused an early morning wreck Thursday on I-285 in DeKalb County, injuring two people as they led officers on a chase in a stolen car.
The teenagers abandoned the stolen red 2012 Toyota Camry on the side of I-285 near Ga. 400 during the chase, Dunwoody police Sgt. Robert Parsons said in a news release.
A 911 caller spotted the teens, believed to between 13 and 16 years old, breaking into an SUV in a parking deck at the Perimeter 31 Apartments about 2:50 a.m., Parsons said.
Shortly after officers arrived at the apartment complex, a Dunwoody police officer saw the Camry speeding in the intersection of Ashford Dunwoody Road and Perimeter Center East.

Police tried to catch up to the car, which made a U-turn and drove south on Ashford Dunwoody Road, Parsons said. The car then got onto I-285, where officers lost sight of it.
Soon after, the driver lost control of the Camry and crashed into another vehicle, which then hit a motorcyclist. Both the driver and the motorcyclist were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police later found the Camry abandoned on I-285 near Ga. 400, but the teens were not inside. Officers discovered the car was stolen out of Clarkston.
