RICHARDSON, Texas — Richardson Police officers risked their lives to save two teenage car thieves.
Body and dash camera video caught the drama.
The drama began in Dallas a week and a half ago when a Hollywood producer’s van was stolen from his garage.
”You see them in Joy Ride and movies but you never think it will happen to you,” Michael Cain said.
Cain knows about movies.
He’s produced films like the Ashton Kutcher movie “Jobs."
Cain couldn’t believe it when he actually became the star of his own drama.
”Shocking on many fronts. One, that someone took a crow bar and plunged it into our garage door and pulled it over," Cain said.
Cain and his wife were in their home one Sunday evening with their little girls. They suddenly heard a noise in their garage, but thought there was nothing to it, so they didn’t go to investigate.
They didn’t realize anything was wrong until later that night.
“My wife went out there to get something out of the car and came back in and thought she was joking when she said, 'I think the car has been stolen,'" Cain said.
Richardson Police dash cam video shows the van going at a high rate of speed five hours after it was stolen.
They tried to pull it over but it was going too fast. The drivers lost control hit another car, then a pole and caught fire.
In the videos, you can hear one of the officers yelling, “Hey are you ok?”
The suspect shouts, “Help! Help! Help!”
The officers scream, “Get out dude. The cars on fire!”
One of the suspects cries out, “Help me for the love of God!”
One officer rushed to grab a fire extinguisher and frantically tried to put out the flames.
Two other officers are seen crawling into the burning van in order to rescue the 14- and 15-year-old suspects.
One officer shouts, “You are going to have to get out, give me your hands.
"Pull me please! I don’t want to die!” one teen shouted.
Officers were able to easily get one teen out, but the driver was wedged under the steering wheel.
“I’m going to get you man," one officer said. "Don’t worry. I’m going to get you. Give me your hand.”
Officers arrested both boys, but they also saved their lives.
“You will be all right. You will be OK,” one officer said.
Cain said he couldn’t have written a more dramatic ending.
