DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Police are searching for a runaway suspect after an I-20 pursuit linked to a string of early morning hotel car break-ins ended in a collision with an officer's cruiser on Tuesday.
What we know:
Officers responded to the Comfort Inn on Klondike Road around 3:17 a.m. Tuesday after receiving reports of active vehicle break-ins.
Dispatchers warned responding officers that the suspect's vehicle was fleeing the property, prompting police to give chase onto I-20 near Panola Road.
An officer executed a PIT maneuver to stop the fleeing car, causing a crash with a Conyers police cruiser.

Authorities believe the group is responsible for 12 break-ins across three separate Conyers hotels.
What we don't know:
Police have not released the names or ages of the two suspects taken into custody. Investigators have not provided a physical description of the third suspect who ran from the crash scene. Officials have also not disclosed whether any officers or suspects were hurt in the collision.
