A speeding motorist led Norman police on a high-speed chase late Sunday night before ditching the vehicle and escaping on foot near Robinson Street and Flood Avenue, police said.

According to police, an officer chased the vehicle down Robinson before the suspect turned south onto Flood and then immediately east onto the 400 block of West Hayes. By the time the officer caught up to the vehicle, the car was abandoned, the occupant(s) gone. Police conducted a search of the area, including door-to-door, but found no one.

Captain Leonard Judy said the vehicle, which hadn't been reported stolen Monday morning, was impounded.

Judy said there are no suspects and stated that even when the owner of the car turns up at impound to collect the vehicle, it's unlikely police will file charges due to lack of evidence.
