Deputies said they attempted a traffic stop on the car, but it refused to stop, escaping into Pasco and then Hernando County.
Aerial footage from HCSO's Aviation Unit shows the car skid over a median before coming to a sudden halt. The two teens then exit the car and run into the woods.

"I'm consistently impressed with the precision and speed of our deputies," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "Less than seven minutes after these two recklessly ditched their car, law enforcement from HCSO, Pasco County, Hernando County, and FHP took these criminals into custody."
