JOHNSON COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating a suspect on multiple allegations after the chase of a stolen car suspect.

Just after 5a.m. December 8, police located a stolen vehicle that had been seen traveling in and out of several apartment complexes and neighborhoods in Lenexa and Shawnee, according to a social media report from Shawnee Police.

Officers with the Lenexa Police Department deployed stop sticks on the vehicle. The suspect continued driving into Shawnee, where the vehicle eventually came to a stop.

A Shawnee officer then pursued the suspect on foot and safely took him into custody. Thanks to outstanding teamwork, neighboring agencies worked seamlessly to ensure a successful outcome.  Police did not release the name of the suspect.
