DALLAS COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) — A police chase in Dallas County ended on Wednesday afternoon with two suspects in custody and another still at large.

Esequiel Hernandez, 32 and Sara Sarabia, 28 are currently being held at the Dallas County Jail. Hernandez faces charges for engaging in organized criminal activity and evading arrest detention. Records also show that Hernandez made a parole violation. Sarabia faces charges for engaging in organized criminal activity.

Dallas police said on Nov. 9, 2022, just after 1:45 p.m., that their helicopter unit responded to a report about a stolen truck. The chopper spotted the vehicle at E. Illinois Ave. and E. Kiest Blvd. and began following it.

Police began following the truck but were not involved in a pursuit.

As the helicopter continued to follow them, the suspect driver and a passenger got out of the truck and were picked up by a third person driving another stolen truck.

The suspects in the stolen white truck then continued to drive recklessly through the south-central Dallas area, at times speeding down the freeway going the wrong way and nearly hitting other drivers.

Just before 3:15 p.m., the three suspects drive the white truck into the woods near I-20 and fled on foot. Police took two of them into custody, but are still looking for the third.
