RAYTOWN, Mo. — A man and a woman led police on a chase through several cities early Thursday morning.

Police say the chase started just before 2 a.m. near midtown in Kansas City.

Investigators said initially it was a traffic stop, but the suspects tried to get away, driving from midtown to Lee’s Summit and back towards Raytown.

Police said at one point the suspect’s vehicle didn’t have a tire and sparks were visible.

Police also said at one point in the chase the suspects were driving the wrong way on the highway and sped through a construction zone.

They were eventually arrested near the Dairy Queen on 350 Highway in Raytown.

No one was injured. 

The suspects were charged with a felony but more charges are expected to be filed.
