Officers responded to the area of 123 Priscilla Drive shortly after 7 a.m. following the report of the break-in. Police said the three suspects attempted to flee the area after the owners of the residence returned home.
The vehicle carrying the suspects then overturned at the intersection of Priscilla Drive and Olney Arnold Road, police said, and all three ran from the vehicle.

All three suspects were transported to Rhode Island Hospital with minor injuries, police said.
