(WAUKEGAN) A Waukegan police officer was injured while pursuing a stolen vehicle Saturday evening in the north suburb.
Police spotted the vehicle about 6:30 p.m. Saturday at a gas station in the 900 block of Grand Avenue, according to the Waukegan Police Department. Officers approached the vehicle, but the driver took off and dragged one officer a short distance in the parking lot. The officer suffered minor injuries, and was treated and released from a hospital.
The officers pursued the vehicle until deciding the chase would be too reckless, police said. It was last seen at Sheridan and Belvidere roads.
They are searching for a grey, four-door 2005 Volkswagen with Illinois license plate Z842693, police said. It was stolen Nov. 29 from the 700 block of Belvedere Road.
Anyone who sees the vehicle should call 911.
