Bellefontaine Police Department officers found the cars and began chasing them, according to the spokesperson.
The chase was canceled due to high speeds.

When deputies arrived in the area, they found the car with no license plate and evidence that it was driven through a yard, according to the spokesperson.
Witnesses told authorities that they saw two men running toward Vine Street.
Logan County Sheriff’s Office K9 Tega helped deputies find the two suspects, who eventually came out of a wooded area with their hands up.
The spokesperson said authorities arrested Andrew Johnson, 23, of Columbus, and Anthony Smith, 34, of Gahanna.
The men told deputies that there were two firearms in the woods, which were later found.
