Four Union City teenagers are behind bars and charged in Coweta County for breaking into more than 50 cars since Monday night. The high-speed run from the law ended with a spectacular crash.
COWETA COUNTY, Ga. – Four Union City teenagers were arrested and charged with stealing more than 50 cars in Coweta County since Monday night.
Investigators say the teenagers were in a stolen Hyundai. Coweta County deputies flagged the car at more than 130 mph Tuesday night as it sped down southbound Interstate 85.
Driving, deputies say, was 17-year-old Anthony Dunn. Investigators say he just turned 17 last month.

Also in the car were three 16-year-olds. They are suspects in more than 50 carjackings since last Monday night in Coweta County.
They say deputies tried several times to use the PIT maneuver but were unable to get the car to turn.

Investigators say the 50 car thefts in Coweta County may have been just the tip of the iceberg.
Investigators say at least three other police departments are very interested in speaking with the teenagers because they are also suspects in numerous carjackings in other cities.
