Bel Air, MD – Deputies in Harford County turned a high-speed chase into a creative capture last week — using a borrowed golf cart to stop two fleeing suspects after a stolen vehicle pursuit.
According to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy initiated a traffic stop on a stolen vehicle that quickly escalated into a pursuit along the Bel Air Bypass. Deputies deployed stop sticks, disabling the car. The driver and passenger then allegedly fled on foot toward Annie’s Playground and a nearby golf course.
Deputies Canham and Cole joined the chase across open fields before enlisting the help of nearby golfers, who allowed them to use their golf cart to close the distance. The deputies used the cart to maintain visual contact with the suspects and direct other responding units to the scene.
Authorities said the suspects — a juvenile male and a juvenile female — were taken into custody without further incident. Both were later released to their parents or guardians.
The Sheriff’s Office praised the deputies for their quick response and teamwork, calling the effort “above par” for ingenuity and coordination among responding officers.
