PHOENIX — A person is in custody after allegedly stealing a van in Tempe and leading a pursuit along Interstate 17.
Just before 1 p.m. Monday, an alert was sent out to law enforcement about the stolen van near 3rd Street and Mill Avenue.
Police say the van was running but not occupied by its driver when it was stolen.
Shortly after the alert went out, Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers spotted the van traveling northbound on I-17 in Phoenix.
Valley freeway cameras showed the pursuit on Interstate 17 and then come to an end at the off-ramp near Thunderbird Road.
ABC15 observed what appeared to be a DPS unit closely following a white van through an intersection and then attempting a PIT maneuver to stop it. This resulted in the trooper bumping the side of the van, causing it to flip over in the dirt.
Following the crash, a person was seen climbing out of the van and placed in custody by the Tempe Police Department.
No other details have been released.
