Police pursuit ends with one in custody

ATLANTA - One man is in custody after a short police pursuit down DeKalb Avenue.

The suspect had stolen a vehicle and Atlanta Police were following close behind, calling Georgia State Patrol for assistance.

GSP deployed stop-sticks that knocked out the tires, according to police, but the vehicle kept going.

GSP then performed the PIT Maneuver, or the pursuit intervention technique, and successfully stopped the suspect and took him into custody.

One female passenger was in the backseat, but she has released and no injuries were reported.

Lt. Jeff Cantin said it is possible the car was stolen from a gas station if keys were left inside of a vehicle by a victim, but did not say where the original crime took place.
