The owners had reported the break-in after coming home and finding a female suspect attempting to take “various items” within their garage, a release issued by police said.

The suspect again tried to flee, but was eventually brought to a stop using a tire deflation device, police said.
During the pursuit, the suspect allegedly made intentional contact with three police vehicles and damaged them. No physical injuries were sustained by officers or the homeowners as a result of the collisions, police said.
