SHERMAN, Tex. -- The owner of a Sherman car wash caught burglars in the act on Monday and followed them in his car, reaching speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour.

Sherman police say the co-owner of the Oasis Car Spa on West Houston Street drove up to see people stealing from the change machines. Police say the co-owner started following the car.

The two cars were driving more than 100 miles per hour on wet roadways. The suspects got away.

Dispatchers advised the man to slow down and don't recommend people ever drive that fast on slick roads.
