Deputies pursue Canyons Subdivision car theft suspects

Hamilton County, Tenn. (WDEF) – Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to calls of vehicle break-ins in the Canyons Subdivision in Hixson on Saturday morning.

Deputies arrived around 3 a.m. and set up at the entrances of the subdivision. Another deputy went into the neighborhood in an attempt to locate the suspects.

At that time, a black Dodge Challenger slowly approached that was occupied by four young, black males.  When the deputy attempted to speak with the suspects, the vehicle took off and a pursuit ensued.

Deputies pursued them down Pitts Road to Old Dayton Pike. One HCSO deputy attempted a PIT maneuver, but it was unsuccessful.

The pursuit continued onto numerous roads until the vehicle came to a stop near the 200 block of Canary Circle. All four occupants bailed out of the vehicle and fled on foot.

One of the backseat passengers stayed at the vehicle and was apprehended. However, the other three evaded arrest.

Deputies then went back to the Canyons and located several vehicles with windows broken out.

No names are being released at this time. HCSO personnel are continuing to investigate this incident as more reports for damage and theft are received.
