(La Porte County, IN) - A Flock camera was connected to a high-speed chase spanning from La Porte County to Chicago on Monday afternoon.
La Porte County Police said one of the devices notified an officer about a stolen vehicle, an SUV with Illinois plates, that was headed eastbound on U.S. 20 from U.S. 35. Soon, the officer located it, which had turned into the Hunter’s Run subdivision. During a traffic stop, the driver reportedly took off and headed back to U.S. 20, ventured down 400 West and U.S. 35, and returned to U.S. 20. A short time later, he turned on the ramp leading to the westbound lanes of Interstate 94.
Authorities said the suspect veered onto the Indiana Toll Road in Lake County before the Chicago Skyway, where he was captured at a toll plaza.
James Simcoe, 43, who’s from the Chicago area, is being held in Illinois until arrangements are made to bring him to La Porte County to face charges.
