View dash cam video of police chase involving minivan

MENOMONEE FALLS -- Menomonee Falls police released dash cam video of a police chase involving a white minivan on Wednesday, May 9th. That chase ended in Kenosha County after reaching speeds up to 100 miles an hour.

Milwaukee police say the pursuit began at 9:48 a.m. after a citizen called in the description of the vehicle involved in a burglary near 51st and Good Hope. Officers called off that pursuit at 9:58 a.m. when it was determined the chase could possibly jeopardize public safety.

Moments after the chase was called off, Menomonee Falls police found the van near Woodman’s and tried to pull it over. The van took off down Highway 45. Menomonee Falls police pursed the suspects until Watertown Plank Rd. That’s when the Wisconsin State Patrol as well as deputies from Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha got involved.

Once in Kenosha County, Dept. of Transportation highway cameras showed the left front tire on the white minivan was deflated.

“He successfully spiked the vehicle. The left front tire slowly deflated, and the driver felt he couldn’t get away anymore and he pulled over into the median and stopped,” State Patrol Officer Mark Barlar said.

The suspects were taken into custody by the Wisconsin State Patrol. The southbound lanes of I-94 were shut down while the arrests were made.
