Clayton and Concord Officers Give Chase, But Can't Find Suspect
A suspect ran from his car and got away after committing a vehicle code violation about 5 p.m.
Clayton and Concord police officers chased a suspect on foot at Delaware and Indiana drives in Concord on Monday evening, but weren't able to catch him, according to Clayton Sgt. Richard McEachin.
About 4:57 p.m., Clayton officers pulled over a car on a vehicle code violation. The suspect ran from the vehicle and jumped over a fence with officers in pursuit.
Concord police assisted in the chase and set up a perimeter, clearing two back yards on Delaware Drive and a section of the parking lot at St. Bonaventure church. The search was called off after about 30 minutes and the suspect was not found.
"We are pretty sure we know who this suspect is," McEachin said.
Police didn't release a name, but the suspect was described as a white male in his 20s. He is not thought to be armed.
