CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — Neighbors in Clayton County were frightened as a police chase ended with a van crashing down a 50-foot embankment and one of the suspects darting from the scene.
Police eventually caught two suspects just minutes after an armed robbery at Happy Nails Supply Store.
Police said they were able to quickly catch up to the suspects for two reasons: The nail supply store was across the street from a police department and officers were outside after leaving a training session.
A two-mile chase ensued before the capture.
