A K-9 unit worked the trail, searching for a suspect still on the loose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The chase began south in Hallandale Beach, where a vehicle was stolen and the driver refused to stop. It carried into Hollywood, where officers from two different jurisdictions ended up colliding with each other. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Video showed a badly damaged Hollywood police cruiser, with a battered Hallandale Beach cruiser sitting nearby at South Federal Highway and Van Buren Street.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Police set up perimeters close by, in the 3000 block of Hayes Street and the 3000 block of Johnson Street near the Tri-Rail tracks, apparently searching for someone \u2014 or several people \u2014 connected to the stolen car investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">A Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office helicopter was spotted in the air Thursday night, signaling that a suspect or suspects tied to the investigation remain on the run, believed to have bailed out at some point during the pursuit.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 What started as a stolen car in Hallandale Beach ended in a tense, guns-drawn&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350729,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-350728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
