Shortly after 4 a.m., officers were dispatched to an address in the 15600 block of 65th Street where a man reported his vehicle stolen. Before the dispatcher could finish giving details of the call, an officer in the area of 67th Street and Lackman Road had spotted the vehicle.

The officer followed the vehicle into the Prairie Lakes Apartments in the 6700 block of Lackman Road, where the driver reportedly attempted to elude the officer. Officers found the vehicle abandoned and saw the suspect running away from it near the apartment building at 6823 Lackman Road.

Radio traffic indicated that the suspect was a black male. He was last seen running south in the 6800 block of Lackman Road. He was described as wearing a black jacket and dark blue jeans. The victim told police that the suspect was armed with a gun and took his car keys from him, then sped away in the vehicle. It is unclear if the victim was inside his vehicle when the suspect approached.

Officers quickly established a large perimeter around the apartment complex and into nearby neighborhoods to the south and east. A K-9 officer was called in to respond from off-duty.

The K-9 officer searched for nearly an hour throughout the southeast side of the apartment complex and into the neighborhood just east of the apartment complex. According to radio traffic, officers searched as far east as the 6800 block of Oakview Street.

Officers disbanded the perimeter just after 5:15 a.m. At that time, a suspect had not been located.

Officers located the victim near West Sixth Street and Monterey Way. Police say the victim sustained numerous injuries, including stab wounds.

"Near Eighth and Rhode Island, east of downtown, the vehicle stopped briefly and the victim attempted to flee. The suspects fought with the victim and pulled him back into the vehicle which then left the area," according to McKinley.

A witness described the vehicle as a dark colored, older sedan, in good condition.

In the area of Eighth and Monterey Way, the victim was able to get out of the vehicle and run from the suspects.

"Blood was located outside one home in the area, therefore officers are searching the area for additional evidence."

Shawnee Police say they arrested a 16-year-old male just a couple hours after he allegedly robbed a local McDonald's restaurant.

Wednesday, March 6th around 4:10 p.m., police responded to the McDonald's restaurant located at 16210 W. 65th Street following reports of an armed robbery.

The store manager told officers that a male came into the business, ordered a drink and then demanded money from the cash register.

Witnesses described the suspect as a white male, possibly 18-22 years old. The suspect did not display a weapon but, police say he kept his hands in his pockets as if he may have had one.

Employees cooperated with the suspect, who left the business after obtaining the cash drawer, which contained an undetermined amount of cash. Witnesses said the suspect left the business in a gray early 1980's Toyota with a Kansas antique license plate. Police searched the area for the suspect and did not immediately locate him or the vehicle.

Another Shawnee officer heard the suspect information broadcast over the police radio and remembered making a traffic stop on a similar vehicle and driver in the recent past. The officer checked his records and found that he had stopped a gray 1978 Toyota with a Kansas antique license plate that matched the one given by witnesses. The vehicle had been stopped on February 8th for running a red light at Shawnee Mission Parkway and Nieman Road. The officer identified the juvenile driver of the Toyota as the suspect in the armed robbery.

Shawnee Police located the vehicle around 11 p.m. Wednesday in the 11100 block of W. 57th Street. The 16-year-old suspect was taken into Police custody without incident. He was transported to the Johnson County Juvenile Detention Facility to be held pending formal charges in the armed robbery.

Police say there were no injuries in the robbery. The suspect's name is not being released because he is a juvenile.

Shawnee girl reports attempted abduction

Posted: January 28, 2013 - 12:15pm

Shawnee Police are investigating after a 12-year-old girl reported an attempted abduction.

Police say the incident occurred around 7:50 a.m. on Friday, January 25th, in the 14400 block of W 67th Street. The girl was walking eastbound to her bus stop, when she says there were two men walking westbound on the opposite side of the street.

The girl tells Police that the white male yelled across the street, asking if she would like to come to his house. The 12-year-old replied 'no' and began running away eastbound along 67th Street. At that time both men reportedly crossed the street and began to chase the girl.

The girl tells Police that she ran a short distance when a gold sedan, driven by a black male in his 20's with short dreadlocks, pulled into a driveway and blocked her path. The driver again asked the girl "you want to come with us?"

Police say the girl then crossed 67th Street and ran northbound through backyards of several homes. She says that when she looked back she observed the first two men get into the gold vehicle, which then left westbound on 67th Street. The girl continued to her bus stop and went to school. She did not report the incident to her mother until after school that afternoon. The girl's mother contacted Police on Saturday, January 26th.
