4 in custody after pursuit involving stolen TV vehicle

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Authorities in North Carolina say four suspects are in custody after a manhunt that stretched across two days and involved the theft of a TV news vehicle.

The News & Observer reports the incident began Saturday morning after a state trooper started pursuing a speeding vehicle in Chatham County.

That part of the pursuit ended soon after when the suspect vehicle spun into a median and the suspects fled on foot.

By Saturday evening, two were in custody.

The arrest of a third was announced late Saturday night after the Highway Patrol said he stole a car belonging to WRAL-TV and attempted to flee in it.

The final person was arrested Sunday morning.
