PLANTATION, Fla. — A large police presence was observed on Monday night in Plantation following a pursuit that ended on the edge of a canal in a residential neighborhood.

Officers were seen in the area of Hiatus Road near Sunrise Boulevard.

The suspect’s vehicle could be seen at the edge of the water.

According to authorities, the chase began in the area of North University Drive and Cleary Boulevard when the vehicle did not listen to commands to pull over.
