A police chase in Crawford County leads to the arrest of two people.

 

The incident began around 6am on Friday morning when a Crawford County Sheriff’s deputy spotted a stolen vehicle in Frontenac. The vehicle had been reported stolen less than an hour earlier in Girard. When the deputy attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver fled, leading police on a chase that took them through the City of Arma and then into Fort Scott.

 

There, the driver and passenger abandoned the vehicle and continued to flee on foot. The two suspects – who were identified as juvenile males – were quickly caught and arrested.

 

The Crawford County Sheriff's Office was assisted by the Arma Police Department, the Fort Scott Police Department and the Bourbon County Sheriff's Office.

 

The names of the two suspects are not being released due to their age.
