At 2:13 a.m. on Tuesday, police officers from the Noblesville Police Department (NPD) responded to the Deer Path subdivision swimming pool parking lot at 12109 Wolf Run Road, Noblesville, in reference to a report of a suspicious vehicle.
Officers arrived on the scene shortly after the call and observed a black 2018 Infinity QX6 occupied by several individuals in the parking lot. As officers approached to investigate, the driver of the vehicle sped off. Officers immediately pursued the vehicle for several minutes before the suspect vehicle struck tire-deflation devices (stop sticks) deployed by deputies with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department.
A short time later, the vehicle crashed into a residence in the 1500 block of Millwood Drive, Noblesville. Officers were able to take two female passengers into custody immediately while three male subjects fled the scene. Officers quickly apprehended one of the male suspects a short distance from the vehicle and NPD’s K-9 and Drone Units later located the remaining two male suspects.
The residence that was struck by the suspect vehicle sustained minimal damage and no residents were injured in the incident.
