TOPEKA (KSNT) – A manhunt has been called off after a high-speed chase east of Junction City.
Cadin Sanner with the Junction City Police Department (JCPD) said in a press release that a detective with the JCPD tried to pull a vehicle over on I-70. However, the vehicle did not stop and the driver fled from law enforcement, initiating a chase.
Law enforcement with multiple local agencies was looking for three males who ran from a car after a high-speed chase along I-70, near McDowell Creek Road on June 26, according to a law enforcement report shortly after midnight.
“All three are considered to be dangerous,” the report said. “Please secure your residence. If you notice anything suspicious or encounter them, call 9—1-1. DO NOT Approach them.”
Just before 9 a.m. on June 26, law enforcement reported the primary suspect had been located with the other suspects being caught later in the day. Law enforcement searching the vehicle used in the chase found 84 pounds of marijuana and more than $18,000 in cash.
