DECATUR -- A suspected burglary leads to a chase which ends in a fiery crash. The hold up happened at Midwest Cellular in the 100-block of West Pershing Road.

Adam White submitted amateur video of what happened next. A witness gave police a description of the getaway car who began pursuit after spotting the vehicle. About five blocks later, police flattened the van's tires, but the suspects kept driving.

They then jumped from the vehicle and fled on foot. Police caught the suspect who were arrested. They face preliminary charges of burglary.
