Officers were called to the area of McCowan Road and Anson Avenue, north of Kingston Road, for reports of a break-and-enter in progress. Police said they also received calls of smoke coming from the building.
When officers arrived, the suspects fled the scene on foot.
After a police pursuit and a K-9 search, the five suspects were later located and arrested.
No injuries were reported.
