Aerial footage from the Massachusetts State Police Air Wing helicopter shows a chase that ended with two arrests in Berkley.
State police say troopers tried to stop a stolen vehicle shortly before 3 p.m. Wednesday. The driver fled and was followed onto Route 79 northbound, but troopers stopped chasing the vehicle when it exited onto local roads.
The Air Wing helicopter was able to locate the vehicle and track it as it got onto Route 24 northbound. Officers with the Berkley Police Department surrounded it after it exited the highway and went into a loop subdivision.
Three people bailed out of the vehicle and were caught within a few minutes, according to authorities.
