(KAIR)--A Tuesday evening Atchison pursuit ends with the recovery of the suspect vehicle in Missouri, but no arrest.
That word comes from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, who told MSC News the pursuit began around 6:00 at 4th and U.S. Highway 59, in Atchison, when an officer on patrol spotted a truck that had been reported stolen in Topeka.
When the attempt to stop the truck was made, the driver fled westbound on U.S. Highway 59 and then south on U.S. Highway 73, east on 262nd Road, south on Sheridan Road, then north on Sheridan to Raven Hill Road. The truck then traveled north on 6th Street to 5th Street, east on S Street, then north on 4th Street, before fleeing eastbound across the Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge into Missouri.
Wilson said the pursuit was called off by Atchison Police due to speed and danger to the public. However, the abandoned vehicle was soon located in Buchanan County, Missouri, and the search for the suspect continues.
Wilson said the Atchison Police Department is joined by the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department and the Shawnee County, Kansas Sheriff’s Department in conducting the joint investigation.
