Lakeville Stolen Vehicle Suspect Arrested After Shelter-In-Place Lifted

Hold on, Lakeville! What started as a wild chase ended with a suspect nabbed and a whole neighborhood breathing a sigh of relief.

Here’s the scoop: Police tried to pull over a guy driving a stolen ride near Highview Avenue. But nope—he bolted on foot like a character straight out of an action flick. Cue the shelter-in-place order.

People were told to stay put while cops searched high and low. The suspect, decked out in white from head to toe with a black hat (looking like he was about to rob a candy store, not steal a car), gave officers the slip for a bit.

After about two hours, the shelter-in-place was lifted, because the guy was still at large and the search zone was massive.

But here’s the kicker—a sharp-eyed local spotted the dude hanging out on Harappa Avenue and called it in. Police swooped in and made the arrest without a fuss, according to Fox9.

Sure, some neighbors outside Lakeville got the shelter-in-place alerts and were a bit confused—like, “Wait, am I in danger too?” But Lakeville schools stayed calm, no lockdowns needed, said CBS News.

So there you have it. A high-speed chase, a city on edge, and a quick capture to end the day. No Hollywood stunts, just good old-fashioned police work and a community looking out for each other.
