Suspected shoplifters drove over a Prairie Village police officer’s foot Friday while making their getaway.

The undercover officer received a minor injury.

Officers were conducting surveillance at the Macy’s store at 4000 W. 71st St. shortly after 8 p.m. when they observed four suspects leaving the store with several pieces of clothing they had not paid for.

Two juveniles were arrested but two other suspects left in a gray, older model Pontiac. As they were leaving, the vehicle ran over one officer’s foot, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Prairie Village police at 913-642-5151 or the Tips Hotline at 816-474-8477.
