EAST TEXAS — Two people were arrested on Saturday after they reportedly led law enforcement on a pursuit through Van Zandt County in a stolen 18-wheeler. According to the Gun Barrel City Police Department and our news partner KETK,\u00a0officers were sent out to the local Burger King at around 3:27 p.m. on Saturday because of a report that a stolen 18-wheeler was parked behind the fast food restaurant.<\/p>\n
Officers located the 18-wheeler and noticed that a man was still inside its cab. One officer was able to remove the keys from the vehicle\u2019s ignition but it was determined to be hot-wired since the driver drove off after the keys were removed.<\/p>\n
The officers started pursuing the 18-wheeler and with the help of the Van Zandt County and Kaufman County Sheriff\u2019s Offices, they were able to stop the vehicle near County Road 2514 and County Road 2517.<\/p>\n
A man and a woman were then removed from the 18-wheeler and placed under arrest. Neither person arrested has been identified. Officials are investigating this case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
