Vehicle Pursuit Ends in Kearney
/Police arrested two men following a vehicle pursuit Wednesday morning that crossed the state line twice, and eventually ended up in Kearney.
The pursuit, which lasted about 45 minutes, began shortly after 10am when officers tried to stop two men in a red colored Honda Civic near 59th Street and Holmes in Kansas City, Missouri.
The men were suspects in a property crime and aggravated assault case, and were possibly armed with a weapon. The men refused to stop for police and the chase crossed the state line, traveling through the cities of Fairway and Prairie Village.
The chase went back into Kansas City, Missouri, at 10:30 a.m. It was in the area of U.S. Highway 71 and Meyer Boulevard when the two men got out of the car, which had several flat tires, and carjacked a new vehicle. They took a four-door red colored Chevrolet Cruze.
No one was injured in the carjacking.
The chase continued and the suspects then traveled north on Hwy. 71, and then continued north on Interstate 35 into the Northland. During the pursuit, speeds approached 120 miles per hour.
Just before 11am, the men exited northbound I-35 at Missouri Highway 92 in Kearney.
The chase ended when authorities used a pit maneuver to stop the car behind the QuikTrip store just south of 92 Hwy.
No one was injured in the incident.
