SYLMAR, Calif. (KABC) -- Several suspects in a speeding car on Thursday morning led California Highway Patrol officers on a chase from Palmdale to Sylmar.

Shortly after 9 a.m., three males in a silver sedan were being pursued by the CHP on the southbound 14 Freeway, reaching speeds of over 100 mph.

The chase made its way through Canyon Country and into Sylmar, where the driver exited the 5 Freeway and drove onto surface streets. Just before 9:30 a.m., the suspects abandoned the car on a residential street near the intersection of El Dorado Avenue and El Cajon Street, video from AIR7 showed.

The driver and at least one passenger climbed a wall and ran into the backyard of a nearby home, where they were greeted by a large rambunctious dog. The dog ran alongside the suspects, apparently playfully, before the two men climbed a fence and fled.

Authorities arrived at the scene soon afterward and began a search as several curious residents were seen coming out of their homes to see what was unfolding.

All three suspects were later found and taken into custody.
