Two suspects who led law enforcement on a high-speed chase in a stolen car and eventually a foot pursuit in the Bayfield area remained at large Tuesday, law enforcement officials say.<\/hardreturn><\/p>\n

La Plata County Sheriff\u2019s deputies attempted to make contact with the vehicle at 6:05 p.m. Monday in the 800 block of Camino del Rio in Durango, said sheriff\u2019s spokesman Chris Burke. The vehicle, which had been traveling southbound, sped off and led police on a high-speed chase east on U.S. Highway 160.<\/p>\n

Bayfield Marshal\u2019s Office, the Southern Ute Police Department and Colorado State Patrol all assisted in the chase, which was terminated by police in the 1000 block of County Road 525 for safety reasons, Burke said.<\/p>\n

The suspects, a man and a woman, ditched the Pontiac they\u2019d been driving somewhere in the bushes along the side of County Road 525 and fled on foot, Burke said.<\/p>\n

Police enlisted the help of a canine search unit, but the suspects had a head start, Burke said. Officers searched \u201cwell into the dark,\u201d Burke said, but did not find the suspects.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office, which is investigating the incident, did not release identifying information about the suspects Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know if they were armed or not, but the public is safe,\u201d Burke said.<\/p>\n
