Officers arrest suspect who led police on high-speed chase Monday

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Officers arrested a man Monday suspected of stealing items from a storage facility in Miami County, Kansas, after he led police on a high-speed chase from Kansas into Missouri.

The truck crossed into Missouri and the suspect sped through neighborhoods in Jackson and Cass Counties in Missouri.

Law officers from both sides of the state line helped out during the pursuit, according to the Miami County Sheriff's Department.

The chase ended when the suspect stopped in the Creekmoor neighborhood in Raymore, Missouri.

Officers began an extensive search for the suspects, which included K-9 units from the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department, deputies from the Miami County Sheriff’s Office and Cass County Sheriff’s Office and a helicopter from the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department.

Officer caught up with the suspect Monday night.
