(KNSI) – St. Cloud police are searching for a burglary suspect who fled the scene of a crash Wednesday morning after leading officers on a brief pursuit.
The incident began around 10:55 a.m. when St. Cloud police were asked by Pope County authorities to be on the lookout for a vehicle connected to a burglary that occurred earlier in Pope County.
An officer spotted the suspect vehicle leaving a parking lot in the 4100 block of Division Street West and attempted a traffic stop. The driver refused to pull over and fled, prompting a short pursuit that officers soon terminated.
Shortly after the chase ended, police received reports of a crash involving the suspect vehicle at 13th Street North and 10th Avenue North in St. Cloud. The driver fled on foot before officers arrived.
The suspect is described as a white male with neck tattoos, wearing a tan Carhartt-style jacket and a hat.
Other people involved in the crash sustained minor injuries, according to police.
A large police presence flooded the area as officers searched for the suspect, but he was not located.
The St. Cloud Police Department’s Community Response Team is continuing to investigate the incident.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the St. Cloud Police Department at 320-251-1200.
