Deputies arrived on scene and a white Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT was spotted leaving southbound on S. Dixie Highway. Two deputies initiated a pursuit when the vehicle failed to pull over, according to a press release from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies lost sight of the vehicle in Ida Township. Michigan state troopers and an officer from the Dundee Police Department responded to the area to assist in the search.
The vehicle was spotted heading northbound on US-23 exiting at M-50/Tecumseh Street. Authorities were unable to catch the vehicle before it crashed while turning on the exit ramp. The occupants fled from the crash on foot.
Authorities established a perimeter in the area and a Michigan State Police K-9 arrived at the scene and MCSO utilized a drone in the search. Using the drone, three subjects were located in the area of Sherloch Forest Apartments in the 320 block of Rawson Street in Dundee.
