The day after a car chase that originated in Barrow County turned into a foot pursuit in Oconee County, authorities say the suspect remains on the lam.
"We are still actively searching for the suspect in the Price Mill/Gober Road area," the Oconee County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook around 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
Walton County Sheriff's deputies joined Oconee, Barrow and Morgan County authorities in the search for a while on Monday. A helicopter from Georgia State Patrol and K-9s also were brought in for the search.Â
Anyone who sees the suspect is asked to call 911 immediately.
The incident began with a burglary in Barrow County on Monday when deputies chased the suspect, identified as 18-year-old Kaleb Jordan Moss of Bethlehem. According to Oconee County Chief Deputy Lee Weems, Moss was chased down Highway 53 after he fled in a truck from the burglary. The pursuit continued down Cole Springs Road to GA 186 and Moss eventually crashed at the intersection of Gober and Price Mill roads. Weems said the suspect then fled on foot into the nearby woods.
Authorities established a perimeter using K-9 units to assist in the search. An airship also was called in, Weems said.
Oconee deputies, Barrow, Walton and Morgan county agencies and the Georgia State Patrol assisted in the search. By Tuesday, however, the suspect remained on the lam. He is believed to have stolen an AR 15 rifle , Weems said, and an empty rifle case was found in the truck.
"We have to take that into consideration," Weems explained.Â
If spotted, authorities warn not to approach Moss. Call 911 immediately.Â
Moss is also wanted on a charge of aggravated assault out of Morgan County, according to Weems.Â
