SHARONVILLE, Ohio — Sharonville police announced a man they say fled officers in a stolen vehicle after a crash is no longer believed to be in the area.
While police searched for the man Wednesday evening, they'd advised residents to lock their doors and ensure their vehicles were secured. Police still encouraged residents to avoid leaving keys or valuables inside vehicles, and to always lock vehicle doors.
Police said officers tried to stop a stolen Hyundai Wednesday night. The driver fled from police, who terminated the pursuit after losing track of the vehicle. Officers then came across a crash scene involving the stolen car on E. Kemper Road and Reed Hartman Highway.
The suspect was tracked into the woods south of there and at around 8 p.m. was spotted near the back of a home. Police said they believed he was still in the area and could have been looking for another Kia or Hyundai to steal.
On Thursday, police said they gathered information they believe can identify the man and they plan to issue warrants for his arrest.
