A suspect remains at large following a high-speed police chase involving a stolen Ford truck in Franklin, Ohio. The incident began just after 4 a.m. on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, in Clearcreek Township near Woodgrove Drive, where investigators reported two juveniles were breaking into vehicles. When officers arrived on the scene, they observed a Ford truck and a white SUV departing the area. Upon initiating a follow, police determined the truck was a recently stolen vehicle. The driver accelerated, leading officers on a chase that entered the city limits near Interstate 75. A Franklin Police officer assisted in pursuing the vehicle, which was captured on newly released dash camera footage. The chase continued along I-75 until the truck exited at State Route 725, where it struck a concrete median and sustained tire damage. Two individuals exited the vehicle and fled into a wooded area near a Best Buy on Mall Woods Road. While authorities successfully located and apprehended the juvenile passenger, the driver evaded capture despite searches by multiple departments, drone teams, and K-9 units. The juvenile in custody, identified as being from Dayton, has been charged with receiving stolen property and obstructing official business. He was transported to the Warren County Juvenile Detention Center following a medical evaluation. The driver, whose identity and description have not been fully released, remains at large. Franklin Police Sergeant Patrick Holland confirmed the ongoing search and investigation. The case is still active, and authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant. Individuals with information regarding the location of the suspect at large are encouraged to contact the Franklin Police Department or submit tips through the appropriate channels. The investigation continues as law enforcement efforts focus on locating the remaining suspect.
