The Madison Police Department issued the following statement.
On October 19, 2023, at approximately 5:17 PM, the Madison Police Department received a report of a felony shoplifting that had just occurred at the Best Buy store at 175 Grandview Boulevard in Madison. Responding officers learned that two male subjects had stolen several laptops and other electronic equipment valued at several thousand dollars from the store and had left the parking lot in a white BMW sedan bearing a Texas license plate. A short time later a Madison Police officer observed a vehicle matching the description traveling southbound on Interstate 55 from Madison into the Ridgeland city limits. As other officers in their police vehicles were approaching the vehicle at the East County Line Road Interstate exit, the vehicle turned suddenly striking the driver’s side front fender of one of the police vehicles which had pulled alongside the suspect vehicle. The vehicle then fled onto the service road, made a U-turn and then proceeded northbound onto Interstate 55. Other officers began pursuing the suspect vehicle.
The vehicle entered back onto Interstate 55 and proceeded northbound with officers in pursuit. The pursuit continued northbound on Interstate 55 into Madison County.
As the vehicle approached mile-marker 114 it swiped the side of a vehicle proceeding northbound causing minor damage to the vehicle without stopping. There were no injuries reported at the 114 mile-marker.
The suspect vehicle continued northbound on Interstate 55 and exited the interstate at the Highway 16 exit at mile-marker 124. The suspect vehicle struck a Toyota Camry that was traveling on Highway 16. The suspect vehicle was disabled due to the crash after which two male subjects fled the vehicle on foot. A female subject that was also in the suspect vehicle was taken into custody. The driver of the Camry received non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the crash and was transported to a local hospital. There were no other occupants of the Toyota Camry.
A perimeter has been established around the wooded area where the subjects fled and a search is currently being conducted by officers and deputies from the Madison Police Department, Madison County Sheriff’s Office and Canton Police Department as well as the MS Highway Patrol.
The two suspects still at large are described as African-American males, ages unknown, medium build, one wearing a bright red hoodie and bright red pants with a dark colored baseball cap and one wearing a camouflage shirt or jacket and light-colored pants with a red baseball cap and white tennis shoes.
The matter remains under investigation and further details will be released as they become available. Anyone observing these individuals in the area is asked to notify local law enforcement as soon as possible by dialing 911.

The owner of that BMW is gonna be pissed when he gets it back.
People from different state and from different counties. Madison and Rankin county has low tolerance for crimes. Your bond will be set in the millions and jail time for sure. You better think twice before you come here. You will never see daylight. I'm glad it's like that.
10:06 - You're assuming they'll be caught. Seems as though over the past several years, thieves have a hay-day in Madison.
This reminds me of the Ulta Bandits from Baton Rouge that hit Ulta earlier this year, they might have hit Best Buy too. They fit the usual profile. They wanted some free stuff of course. Grandview Blvd stores and Renaissance are a magnet for the ghetto. Prado Vista and Top Golf are doomed as well. I’m surprised Mama Hamils is still in business.
I don't know why they ever allowed all of the retail stores in our quiet little town. It will be just another County Line Rd in 20 years.
Mayor Mary - please keep your shoplifting citizens at home and out of Canton!
There were at least 10 police cars behind him. I don’t know how they lost them.
Old boy gonna wish he had on cammo britches instead of bright red. He must not hunt.
Hello. I’m John Retailer, owner of Retailer’s Retail Outlet. When I look at these three I see only potential high-dollar-spending customers that make my face beam to see them walking in the door of my establishment. Yes, sir, I do, indeed.
Dregs of society-
I hope technology will soon give police additional tools to stop fleeing felons.
Mississippi should become the first state in the nation to provide mandatory prison time for fleeing from police in a vehicle along with strong legal protection for the officers and agencies. Of course, shooting the suspects in order to stop the chase is an excellent starting point.
I’d be ok for every person to enter a store they submit a finger print.
Mama Hamils? What the hell you gonna steal...Cornbread muffins?
"I’d be ok for every person to enter a store they submit a finger print." Not a bad idea at all. Done at Disney and Universal as well as other places. Not tied to NCIC but it is linked to your ticket/name.
Suspects are from Memphis and driving a presumably-stolen car with Texas plates. These three are plugged into something bigger that this one incident.
10:55 thieves gotta eat too
