The Pleasant Prairie Police Department greatly assisted KPD by successfully spiking the suspect vehicle in this pursuit as it continued south on Sheridan Road. KPD and PPPD continued to pursue the suspect vehicle into the Village of Winthrop Harbor, IL where WHPD was waiting to assist. The pursuit finally ended in the Village of Winthrop Harbor where the suspect vehicle stopped.
