Duo at Large Following Chopper, K-9 Search
Two people in a 2013 Chrysler sped away from police in Lake Grove Tuesday night, according to police.
Suffolk County Police called in a helicopter and K-9 late Tuesday night to search for a pair of individuals in Lake Grove suspected of trespassing onto the property of an abandoned house, though the suspects were able to avoid police.
According to police, two 911 calls were received around 11:10 p.m. on Tuesday. One reported a suspicious vehicle and another reportedly spotted a man on the property of an abandoned house on Angela Lane – behind Raymour & Flanigan, just east of the Smith Haven Mall.
Police approached the car shortly after, they said, and upon trying to search the car the driver sped off.
A helicopter and K-9 unit were called to assist in the search, though as of late Wednesday afternoon, no arrests had been made in relation to the incident.
The couple was in a 2013 Chrysler, according to police, though no further details regarding the model of the car or the suspects were immediately available.
The Fourth Precinct is investigating the incident.
