A brief officer-involved chase in Phoenix is over after two suspects were found in a trash bin.

An Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesperson said a car chase started around 5:30 p.m. Friday on Loop 202 westbound near Center Parkway. 

At least one of the suspects allegedly tossed a clear bag out of the vehicle's window, officials said. The contents of the bag haven't been released.

The chase ended around 6 p.m. after the car exited the freeway and drove into a neighborhood near 30th and Culver streets.

Air15 over the scene of the incident showed both suspects hiding in a trash can in an alleyway before being taken into custody.

No injuries were reported, according to DPS.

DPS has not released the identity of the suspects and said they were under the age of 18.
