Jan 14, 2013, 9:50 AM | Updated: 12:25 pm

Two male teenagers suspected in a Glendale home invasion are in the hospital Monday after crashing a car during a brief police chase.

The 16-year-olds had broken into a home near Northern Avenue and 47th Drive.

Police had been called by neighbors.

“We saw a vehicle leaving an apartment complex with its lights off,” said Glendale Police Sgt. Brent Coomb. “And, one of the officers decided to follow it just in case it was connected to the home invasion we were responding to — and it was.”

The teens are suspected of stealing several items.

Three adults inside the home were unharmed.
