Officers near West Gulf Bank Road are flagged down by a witness who reports a theft involving a business called City Trans. The witness provides a vehicle and license plate description. Officers locate the suspect vehicle, which continues moving slowly and refuses to stop.

Because the officers do not know how much property was taken and the theft may be minor, the decision is made to end the pursuit.
