HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- The search continued Wednesday for two people wanted in connection to a police chase that ended on Interstate 95 in Hanover County.

The chase, which originated with a traffic stop in Henrico County near Craig Avenue and Elba Street, crossed into Hanover County.

"Henrico Police were no longer in pursuit of the vehicle when it crashed in Hanover County," a Henrico Police spokesperson clarified in a Wednesday morning email. "Henrico Police lost sight of the vehicle near I-95/I-295 and therefore terminated the pursuit. We later received a call about the vehicle crashing in Hanover County. The vehicle was reported stolen out of Maryland."

Hanover County deputies used K9s, thermal cameras, and a SWAT team Tuesday night to search those involved. Police continued to look for two people who were in the crashed car.

One person detained during the incident Tuesday night was never arrested nor charged.

Police said there was no active threat to the public.

"Make sure you have locked up everything and make sure there are no key fobs left in that vehicle where something could go missing and if you see anything, don't try to go out and investigate yourself," Hanover Sgt Steve Wills told CBS 6 as the search for the suspect was underway.

Investigators had no suspect descriptions to share. Anyone with information about the suspects is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000.
