END RESULTS OF MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL POLICE PURSUIT FROM THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH TO CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP 01/06/2008 : On Sunday, January 06, 2008, City of Pittsburgh Zone 2 police unit 3222 responded to a report of a suspicious, occupied vehicle in a neighborhood. Upon arriving, the suspect vehicle fled from the officer, leading the officer on a pursuit through a portion of zone 2, into zone 5 on Penn Avenue, through East Liberty and Point Breeze. The suspect vehicle then turned onto South Braddock Avenue, with zone 2 and zone 5 units right behind him. The chase briefly entered zone 4 passing Frick Park and continuing on South Braddock Avenue into Edgewood. Edgewood police briefly joined the pursuit as the vehicle continued through Edgewood on South Braddock Avenue before getting onto the Parkway East (376) inbound. The vehicle continued on the Parkway...through the Squirrel Hill Tunnels to the 279 Northshore exit onto Fort Pitt Boulevard and onto 279 Northbound passing PNC Park. The suspect vehicle continued northbound out of the city limits, with the Pittsburgh Police units and Pennsylvania State Police units right on his tail. Ross Township, West View and Ohio Township police were notified that the pursuit was proceeding through their jurisdictions. Somewhere in the vicinity of the Perrysville exit, the suspect vehicle was hit with stop sticks, believed to be deployed by West View police. The vehicle continued northbound on 279 passing the Bellevue/West View exit, as the front tires on the vehicle started deflating fron hitting the spike strips. The Chase continued northbound as the suspect vehicle, now riding on its front rims, sparks flying and still refusing to give up. Franklin Park and Northern Regional police departments were notified that the chase was continuing towards the 279/79 split and would be entering their jurisdictions. Finally, the suspect vehicle rolled to a stop on the hillside off of exit 77 on I79 at the Cranberry Township connector, with the front bumper and other parts falling off of the badly beat suspect vehicle. As a last ditch effort, the suspect attempted to bail from what was left of his ride, and try to make it a foot chase. However the zone 4 K-9 wasn't having any foot chase....the K-9 quickly brought down the suspect with a little nibble and he was taken into custody. There were no injuries to officers or civilian motorist during the chase. Kudos to all officers involved in this 45 minute chase....Good Guys = 1, Bad Guys = 0.
