Oklahoma City police arrested three people accused of leading them on a high-speed chase, and one of them tried to change clothes to throw off officers.

Officers say they attempted to pull over a vehicle sometime around 3 a.m. Wednesday, and that's when the car took off. The driver finally stopped the vehicle on Interstate 44 near Penn Avenue and all three people inside the car took off running.

Police used a helicopter and dogs to and search for the suspects. Within minutes, officers caught two of the suspects who ran away. A police K9 unit located the third suspect late in the same neighborhood.

According to police scanner traffic, officers found one of the suspects allegedly trying to change outfits while hiding in a nearby neighborhood.

All three suspects are juveniles and will not face felony charges.
