Chase, crash leads to manhunt in Chicago's south suburbs
A police chase and crash in Chicago's south suburbs led to a manhunt for several subjects Monday morning.
TINLEY PARK, Ill. - A shelter-in-place was issued and lifted Monday morning after a manhunt for several people that stemmed from a police chase and crash in Chicago's south suburbs.
What we know:
According to Matteson and Tinley Park police, officers observed a group of males trying to steal a car. A chase ensued, and at some point, the subjects got out of their vehicle and entered another car. It's not clear if the car they got into was a waiting vehicle or if they stole it.
The subjects eventually crashed their vehicle near Vollmer Road and Harlem Avenue.
Police said four or five males dressed in all black ran off westbound from the scene, and they may have been armed with handguns.
The Will County Sheriff's Office had issued a shelter-in-place order for the "immediate area of Harlem Ave. and Vollmer Rd in Frankfort Square," asking residents to remain in their homes with their doors locked. However, at around 8:45 a.m., the order was lifted after law enforcement "searched the vicinity" and gave the "all clear."
Police said three subjects were taken into custody and one person was hospitalized.
What we don't know:
It is unclear if any other subjects remain at large, and if the person hospitalized is a subject or someone else injured in the crash.
What's next:
The investigation remains ongoing.
