Thieves threw chainsaws at police car to escape arrest during high-speed pursuit

A high-speed police chase between two thieves and a police officer had the sergeant dodging chainsaws in the middle of Duluth, Georgia.
Duluth Police are working to enhance the video to get a better look at the faces of the two men caught on camera throwing stolen chainsaws at a police car. They were seen leaving Howard Brother's hardware at around 1:30am on Monday. An officer heard the store's alarm and investigated.
He chased after the minivan. They tossed three chainsaws and a weed-eater. The chase ended after about three minutes. The two men stopped and abandoned the vehicle. They then ran off in to the woods. Police found nine weed-eaters and two more chainsaws in the back of the van.

Some of it had been taken from a Tucker hardware store in addition to Howard Brother's Hardware. The van had been reported stolen a few days earlier in DeKalb County. The total cost of the merchandise stolen is almost $19,000. One of those chainsaws whacked the patrol car causing about $3,000 in damage.
