Elk Grove police are looking for a man who allegedly stole a car and led them on a pursuit Tuesday morning.
The incident began at 6:33 a.m. in the 4500 block of Blossom Ranch Drive when a man left his car idling. Another man rode up on a bicycle, jumped into the car and drove off, said Officer Christopher Trim, spokesman for the Elk Grove Police Department.
An officer tried to pull the stolen vehicle over near Tegan Road about 15 minutes later. The man refused to pull over and led police on a pursuit south on Franklin Boulevard that reached 65 mph, Trim said.
Trim said the pursuit ended when the man lost control of the car and drove into a field off of Elk Grove Boulevard. He took off on foot and officers were unable to locate him after searching for about an hour.
The man was wearing a brown shirt and military-style pants. No other description was given by police.
Anyone with information is asked to call the police at (916) 714-5115.
