Suspects flee on foot following 110-mph car pursue
Inspector Carver with the N.C. DMV License and Theft Bureau searches a white Mazda three involved in a 110-mph car pursue July 6. The suspects in the vehicle escaped on foot.
A 110-mph car pursue ended in the Chesterfield community Thursday afternoon when two suspects got out of their car and fled on foot.
The pursue began on Tate Street in Morganton around three p.m. when Inspector Carver with the N.C. DMV License and Theft Bureau attempted to stop a white Mazda three with a tag that expired two years ago, Carver said.
The car sped away, and Carver followed in pursuit. The tag blew off the vehicle as it reached speeds near one hundred ten mph, according to a live police scanner.
The pursue continued onto Hartland Road, Smith Road and Packs Hill Road, and it ended on Piney Road when the driver parked the vehicle. Two masculine suspects exited the car and ran away, Carver said.
Carver told The News Herald that the suspect’s identities were unknown, but officers with the theft bureau, N.C. Highway Patrol and Burke County Sheriff’s Office left the scene around Four:15 p.m. and drove to Rader Circle in Morganton.
Officers interviewed Chuck McDade, who identified himself as the grandfather of Dylan Rogers.
Rogers, 24, of Morganton, is the suspected driver of the Mazda, but the car did not belong to him, McDade said. He said officers did not tell him how they knew that Rogers was the driver.
“They talked like somebody told them,” he said.
McDade said he was familiar with the Mazda because it “showed up” in his neighbor’s yard earlier this week. His neighbor asked who it belonged to, McDade said he didn’t know and the neighbor called law enforcement.
A deputy with the Burke County Sheriff’s Office came to the home on Tuesday and checked the status of the vehicle, McDade said. McDade said the deputy told them it had not beenreported as stolen and that they could call a wrecker truck to have it liquidated.
McDade said he was worried the vehicle might be stolen because a window was violated and the inwards panels had been liquidated. The vehicle had been eliminated from the yard sometime Wednesday morning, he said.
McDade said he talked to Rogers this morning and he “seemed normal.” He also said Rogers had been in trouble before.
Rogers was involved in another car pursue at speeds near one hundred mph in two thousand fourteen when he was charged and convicted with speeding to elude arrest.
