Officers said when they tried to stop the car, the driver refused, and the chase began.
The pursuit ended when the car crashed on Briley Parkway at Exit 18B. The ramp was closed for a short time overnight but has since reopened.
"This activity cannot continue we want to join forces with any other jurisdiction around that will work with us to try and deter this crime," detective lieutenant Jim Vaughn said.
Vaughn said Tuesday afternoon the four teens had planned to break into the Guns and Leather store.
"We've had I think, this is probably the third attempt of breaking into our gun store up here," he said.
The plan was foiled when a flex officer ran the license plate of the car and tried to stop the vehicle.
Metro Police said the car was stolen out of Nashville on Monday, but they're still trying to determine where the vehicle was actually taken.
After the chase, one of the teens was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with minor injuries.
