(KNZA)--Two men are in custody following an early Monday morning pursuit and vehicle theft in Jackson County.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release, said a Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to stop a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander near 134th Road and U.S. 75 Highway when a pursuit ensued shortly after 3 A.M.
The driver allegedly attempted to elude the deputy on gravel roads near Mayetta. The deputy lost sight of the vehicle on 166th Road and then found the car wrecked between T. and S. Roads. The occupants had fled the scene.

Two male suspects were located near U.S. Highway 75 and 174th Road shortly before 6 A.M. Both men were taken into custody by deputies in connection with the pursuit and stolen vehicle.
The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Tribal Police and a Kansas Highway Patrol helicopter assisted with the search.
