A stolen car barreled through neighborhood yards and smashed into a South Carolina home before two teenagers ran, triggering a search involving deputies, K9 teams and a drone, authorities said.
Video released by the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office shows the car slamming into the house before deputies rush toward the wreck and chase a fleeing suspect.
“Is everybody alright?” a deputy can be heard asking as authorities check the home for anyone who might be hurt.

The sheriff’s office said deputies attempted to stop the reported stolen vehicle around 2:30 p.m. Oct. 15. The driver fled, but deputies said they did not pursue the car before it crashed into the home on Renwood Road in Simpsonville.
Two teenagers, ages 15 and 16, were eventually arrested and charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, authorities said. No injuries were reported.

The video shows one deputy running after a fleeing suspect while another heads toward the damaged home. The passenger was quickly taken into custody, while the search for the driver brought help from above and on the ground.
K9 teams used multiple dogs to track the driver’s path, and drone operators provided an aerial view of the neighborhood, according to the sheriff’s office. The video also shows a dog picking up a scent collected from the vehicle before tracking the driver.

“When someone decides to run from law enforcement in Greenville County, they quickly learn that our deputies have more than one way to find them,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a post accompanying the video.
“You can run, but our deputies have a pretty impressive toolbox. And they know how to use it,” the agency added.
For neighbors, the crash brought a frightening interruption to an otherwise routine afternoon.
“I was just putting my baby down for a nap, and I heard a big crash outside,” next-door neighbor Rachel Bush told WYFF.
Just minutes earlier, Bush said, she had been walking outside with her baby and dog.
“We were grateful we were back inside before everything happened,” she told the outlet.

One of the home’s residents told WYFF that no one was home when the car crashed through the front door. He and his fiancé returned from an errand minutes later to find the damage.
The resident said the car missed another vehicle in the garage by inches, leaving behind an extensive cleanup and repair job.
Another neighbor, Robert Belcher, told WYFF he offered support after seeing what happened.
“I don’t know what to say to you but thank God no one was at home,” Belcher recalled telling his neighbor.

The resident also offered a pointed message to the teenagers accused in the incident.
“Think about what you are doing; you never know if it’s going to impact lives,” he told WYFF.
