Armed suspects evade Kentucky deputies after bailing out of stolen car from Nashville
A rifle, phone and key tools were recovered from the stolen vehicle.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WSMV) - Deputies with the Warren County Sheriff’s Office (WSCO) are continuing to search for three suspects, two of them believed to be armed, who evaded arrest near a subdivision after bailing out of a stolen car from Nashville.
WCSO reports that deputies patrolled near the Baileys Farm subdivision in the early morning hours of Monday when they saw a man in dark clothing running from two parked vehicles.
The man got into the back seat of a silver Nissan Altima with no headlights on, which then drove off and exited the neighborhood. WCSO said that deputies attempted to stop the vehicle but it sped off toward Scottsville Road.
Shortly after, it crashed in the parking lot of Sonny’s BBQ. Three men ran from the vehicle after the crash.
WCSO reported that deputies couldn’t locate the men after searching the area.
“The wrecked vehicle was reported stolen out of Nashville, TN. A search of the vehicle resulted in locating a 9mm Smith & Wesson rifle, a cell phone, and key tools,” WCSO said. “Witnesses reported seeing two of the suspects armed with guns as they fled through neighborhoods behind Sonny’s BBQ.”
