Authorities are still searching for three suspects believed to have led police on a car chase in Woodson and Allen counties before crashing in a rural area in northern Allen County.
Officers remain on the lookout for William Bill Theodore Patton, Kaitlyn Marie McMurry and Tanner Williams Adams.
The trio have been on the lam since Jan. 8, when Woodson County sheriffs deputies were called to an incident in Neosho Falls, where a weapon reportedly was brandished.
The call led to a vehicle pursuit that made it to Allen County before the supsects vehicle, which had been stolen from Crawford County, crashed near the intersection of 1000 Street and Utah Road.
The suspects fled on foot.
The Allen County Sheriffs Department assisted, as did Kansas Highway Patrol, along with its air unit and K-9 units. Iola and Chanute police officers helped in the search as well.
A day later, on Thursday, a John Deere tractor near the crash scene was reported stolen. The tractor was recovered later in Neosho Falls.
Subsequent interviews of witnesses led to the discovery of other thefts in the area, including a pair of firearms.
