A stolen car chase ended with the capture of two suspects Friday morning at the Del Mar Gate in The Villages.
The pursuit began in Marion County with deputies, assisted by a helicopter, chasing a green Kia Soul that was reportedly stolen sometime Thursday from the Kohl’s store at Lady Lake Crossing. The stolen car was initially taken to Marion County and was heading back to The Villages during the Friday morning pursuit.
Marion County deputies, who were assisted in the pursuit by other law enforcement personnel, used stop sticks to puncture the car’s two front tires which were deflated when a woman and a man who had been traveling in the car were taken into custody. Their identities were not immediately released by law enforcement.
