Salisbury, MD – A vehicle pursuit involving the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office and the Delaware State Police began on Thursday. The incident commenced when Troopers requested assistance while chasing a stolen vehicle.
During the pursuit, the suspect crashed in Delaware, exited the vehicle, and stole another car to flee into Wicomico County. The suspect was pursued into Maryland but lost shortly after entering the area.
Wicomico County deputies searched for the black minivan involved in the incident. Deputies located the minivan in a gas station parking lot, where the driver attempted to evade arrest.
When attempted to be contacted, the driver fled, resulting in another chase. This pursuit extended into roads across Dorchester County and Caroline County, ultimately returning to a portion of Delaware.
