HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Two people were detained after leading police on a chase across southwest Houston Wednesday morning and some of it was caught on camera.

The Houston Police Department confirmed the chase started as a traffic stop at 9400 Timberside Drive at about 10:45 a.m.

A Stafford-area homeowner's doorbell camera caught the moment the suspect led multiple officers down Shirleen Drive.

A short time later, the duo were arrested. SkyEye flew over what appeared to be the end of the chase near Emancipation Avenue and Southmore.

Two people, a man and a woman, could be seen getting detained by officers outside a housing unit at the intersection.

HPD K9s were also deployed during the arrest.
