The Salisbury Police Department is looking for two people who ran from a stolen vehicle after a traffic stop near Kelsey Scott Park.

A police officer got behind a Mercedes sport utility vehicle just before 11 p.m. Tuesday and noted that the driver did not have the vehicle’s lights on. The officer said he couldn’t make out the license plate number so he tried to stop the vehicle near Brenner Avenue and West Horah Street.

A short vehicle chase ensued with the vehicle traveling 65 mph. The driver eventually turned into Kelsey Scott Park and went through a locked gate at the end of the park property.

When the vehicle came to a stop, the driver and front-seat passenger jumped out and ran.

A back-seat passenger told to the officer that he’d been at a cookout at his home and the front-seat passenger, who he knows only as Pete, offered him a ride. The back-seat passenger was not charged.

A police dog searched the area but was unable to locate the two men. Police said the SUV was stolen from Ravenswood, West Virginia.
