LINCOLN COUNTY -- Lincoln County Sheriff's Deputies had their hands full Monday morning around 8:45 a.m.

The incident started when two suspects crashed a stolen SUV into a dump truck on Highway 321 near the Highway 321 - Business interchange. Not wanting to be captured, the pair ran from the minor accident into the woods.

According to Lincolnton Police canine officer Brandon Hunsucker, he and Hary arrived on the scene to try and track down the suspects.

"We got a trail then lost it," said Hunsucker.

The suspects somehow made it out of the woods and then stole a vehicle from a residence on Hoffman Road right inside the Gaston County line. The suspects remained at large throughout Monday.
