Good evening,

Earlier this evening the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Department arrested a suspect inside of River Bluffs, after a vehicle chase. The suspect was arrested without incident  on Excelsior Alley after Scott directed deputies to his location. There was no crime within River Bluffs and the suspect was being pursued by deputies for reasons not known at this time. The suspect is in custody and there is no need to be concerned as this incident has concluded. Detectives will still be there this evening for a little while and the suspect’s vehicle is supposed to be towed as well. Tyler will be working this evening at the gate.

More information will be provided once we know further details but again, there is no cause for concern as the suspect merely chose to try and flee down a dead end road into a gated community. We will keep everyone posted.
