A police pursuit in Aberdeen ended in a crash involving several vehicles and three people in custody on Friday. Staff at the sports store, Going Going Gone!, reported a larceny in progress with the suspects leaving in a gold sedan.
Aberdeen officers observed the suspect vehicle heading south on U.S. 1 toward downtown Aberdeen. Officers attempted a traffic stop at Elm Street, and the vehicle sped up and, as it entered the intersection at Highway 5 and U.S. 1, it crashed into two other vehicles, said Aberdeen Police Chief Brian Chavis.
Three people fled from the sedan. An Aberdeen officer immediately caught one after a foot chase. A second subject was found inside a convenience store. The third subject fled into the woods.
K-9 units from the Pinebluff Police Department and the Sheriff’s Office immediately responded, and a perimeter was set up around the wooded area. After a short time, the third suspect surrendered. No injuries were reported, and identities were not provided.Â
A search of the vehicle turned up suspected drugs and bags of items allegedly stolen from Going Going Gone!, Ross Dress for Less, and T.J. Maxx, said Chavis.
