BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — A man led law enforcement officers on a chase after stealing a vehicle from a Bowling Green car dealership Monday morning.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol said the incident started with Bowling Green Police after they responded to a breaking-and-entering call to a local dealership.

Police say a white male stole one of the vehicles and led police on a chase starting on North Main Street.

OSHP says state troopers happened to be in the area of State Route 25 and 582 when the suspect vehicle went eastbound on 582 at a high rate of speed.

Troopers tried to catch up to the vehicle but were unable to. Troopers relayed information to Perrysburg Township police, who picked up the chase but terminated it on I-75 near mile marker 190.

Around 12:13 a.m., police received a call that the suspect vehicle was involved in a crash on I-75 near milepost I-83.
