** Carjacking In KC-MO Leads Police On Chase- Hotel Search **
... The carjacking by "10 black males" of a man's 1999 GMC Denali happened in the 3000 block of Swope Parkway in south Midtown around 12:40am..
It was around 1:30am when police in downtown KC-MO spotted the blue and green Denali containing 2 black males and chased the vehicle west across the Lewis & Clark viaduct- then west on I-70 into KC-KS.. Speeds were reported by chasing cops up to "120 m.p.h.." The chase went to 78th Street in KC-KS- then back eastbound toward Missouri.
Officers finally get "stop-sticks" on the Denali around 38th Street as the suspects sped east at up to 100 m.p.h.. The driver got on I-670- and headed into the Downtown loop under Bartle Hall. Officers including a KC-MO PD helicopter lose sight of the Denali for about 5 minutes- long enough for the suspects to ditch the vehicle on the Central Street exit and- according to witnesses- run into the hotel at 1301 Wyandotte right around 2am.
Police conducted a floor by floor search of the at least 22-story structure and- at 5:21am- reported not finding any suspects.
