Officers search for a man who they think fled into a secure area at D/FW International Airport Tuesday following a vehicle pursuit.
Officers from several agencies were searching late Tuesday for a man who they believe fled into a secure area at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport following a vehicle pursuit.
Grand Prairie police began chasing the man after he drove away from an attempted stop for a traffic violation on northbound Texas Highway 360. Eventually the man pulled over and left his car, which caught fire, along the frontage road for Texas 183, near Texas 360, at the southwest corner of D/FW Airport.
Police lost track of the man and called for firefighters, who then cut a section of the airport perimeter fence so officers could pass through and continue their search.
Other agencies assisted Grand Prairie police in the search, including Fort Worth and the Texas Department of Public Safety, which used a helicopter to search from the air.
The man was not located, and by 11 p.m., the ground search on D/FW Airport property had ended.
A description of the man has not been released.
The passenger terminals at D/FW Airport, located more than a mile from the search location, were not placed on lockdown.
