The vehicle with 2 suspects inside was first spotted by a Metro zone officer around 11:05pm in the area of Research Medical Center and that's when the chase starts.
After the suspects race through intersections against traffic lights- the ground pursuit is discontinued as the police consider public safety continuing the chase.
But by now- the KC-MO police aviation unit is above in one of it's helicopters- they watch the suspects continuing to disregard traffic laws- nearly striking 2 bicyclists the chopper's spotter says.
Within minutes- the aerial police force sees the 2 male suspects "bail" from the stolen vehicle at Garfield at 38th- and run into an apartment building there.
The helicopter made sure from their perch above no went went out any windows or back doors until ground forces arrived.
The officers on the ground secured that building and produced 2 possible suspects.
Since it's inception in the 1960's as one of the first municipal police helicopter patrol units in America- this is just one case of thousands that the KC-MO PD helicopter unit has benefited the safety of not only it's citizens- but those of our satellite cities as well.
The Captain salutes those cops in the sky....
