Two arrested after pursuit in Cass County. Deputies found drugs and a gun in the car
Two people were arrested following a high-speed chase through Harrisonville on Saturday afternoon, according to the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies attempted to stop a blue truck around 4:45 p.m. Saturday on Missouri Route 2 east of Harrisonville, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office, when the driver fled at a high rate of speed.
The driver allegedly sped through Harrisonville and went north on Interstate 49.
Peculiar, Belton and Grandview police departments, as well as the Missouri State Highway Patrol, helped deploy tire deflation devices as the vehicle went north.
Several tires were deflated, which allowed a Criminal Apprehension Unit using a Grappler device to stop the vehicle on I-49, north of Highway 150, according to the sheriff’s office.
“Today multiple agencies working together on a regional radio system were able to successfully coordinate a response to this pursuit and take two subjects into custody without injury,” Sheriff Jeff Weber said in the news release.
Deputies found suspected drugs and a stolen gun in the vehicle. Two people were arrested.
Charges are pending.
