(KMZA)--Two were arrested early Thursday morning after allegedly stealing a car from a residence in the Pottawatomie County community of St. George.
Pottawatomie County Sheriff Greg Riat said the sheriff’s office received a call shortly before 4:45 from a resident in the Oak View Area of St. George reporting seeing the dome light come on inside their 2012 Chevy Camaro. When the caller went out to see what was going on, someone inside the car drove it away.
Riat say the Camaro was located moments later by a deputy eastbound on Highway 24 at a high rate of speed. The deputy pursued the vehicle a short distance on Highway 24 before it turned east on Vineyard Road.
The two occupants abandoned the Camaro in the area of Vineyard Road and White Tale Lane.
One suspect was taken into custody a short time later, and the second suspect was arrested shortly before 8:00.
The Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Kansas Highway Patrol, Patrol Aircraft Division, and Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.
