A retail theft at a Home Depot led police to chase a U-Haul truck through the streets of West Allis on Sunday, police said.
At 3:30 p.m., West Allis police officers were dispatched to a report of a retail theft at Home Depot, 11071 W. National Ave., according to the West Allis Police Department.
When officers arrived on scene, they were told the suspects fled eastbound on National Avenue in a U-Haul truck with Arizona license plates.
Officers located the vehicle near 10200 W. National Ave. and attempted to stop it. The truck did not stop and a chase ensued. During the pursuit, stop sticks were successfully deployed, police said.
The chase ended near 82nd and Burleigh streets, police said, where the truck collided with a patrol car.
A 48-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man, both from Milwaukee, were taken into custody. There were no injuries during the chase or collision, police said.
The 48-year-old woman was the driver of the truck and charges will be forwarded to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office for retail theft, fleeing a police officer, second-degree reckless endangerment and drug possession.
The 54-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested on charges of retail theft and drug possession.
