An investigation into a possible burglary early this (Friday) morning in Council Bluffs, resulted in a foot pursuit, but no one was apprehended. Bluffs Police say officers were called to the vicinity of 1868 Pueblo Road, at around 12:30-a.m. for a report of a possible burglary in progress. Upon arrival officers parked several houses away and approached on foot, after observing items that appeared to be taken from a nearby shed. As they got to the rear of the residence, one officer observed a man run north and west from the rear of the residence.

Officers who began to chase the man ordered him to stop, but the suspect, who wore  a dark coat, jumped multiple fences and ran to Onawa Avenue before getting into a maroon Pontiac. As officers approached, the man started the vehicle, turned the headlights on and began to drive in reverse at a high rate of speed.

Moments later, another officer saw the vehicle traveling north bound on S. 24th St turning west on to I-80 westbound. Omaha Police helicopter “Able 1” was dispatched and followed the vehicle to an apartment building near 14th and W Streets. The suspect parked the vehicle in the back lot and ran from the vehicle. Able 1 lost sight of the man as he ran around an apartment building.

The suspect was not identified. No injuries were reported.
