Police search for suspect who fled traffic stop near Quincy MBTA station; school lockdowns lifted

I want you to take a look at this video with me. It shows a man running across a parking lot and then hopping the fence, and then you just don't see him anymore. He went away. Boston 25's Daniel Coates in Quincy with why police were chasing that person. A police chase caught on camera. Two cruisers seen speeding after a man sprinting across a parking lot off Newport Avenue Extension, hurdling the fence and scampering across the tracks for the red line and commuter rail, eventually disappearing from police. I always say desperate people do desperate things. State police say this started a half a mile away on Enterprise Drive during a traffic stop. The man reportedly sped off and crashed his blue Maserati with New York plates right here and then decided to run. He was last seen near these tracks where air wing and K-9 units were deployed. But called off after about three hours. If this person is running and they don't want it for a violent crime, then maybe there's less of an emphasis on having a prolonged search for this individual. Longtime former state trooper Todd McGee said even though the active search is off, Quincy and state police are working behind the scenes, likely using info found inside his car to track him down. Trying to discover where this person resides, where they live, next of kin. Where would this person most likely try and find a place to seek some type of shelter or to hunker down for a little while? And you'd be surprised, most people go back to their place of residence thinking they can evade police. North Quincy schools were temporarily locked down Thursday while cruisers circled the streets outside. They eventually decided to retreat. Is it going to be a situation where we don't want the police activity to spill over and create some collateral damage? That's certainly something that law enforcement is going to think about. McGee's been a part of similar searches and told us police are likely using DMV records and identifying next of kin to close in on him. It's just a matter of time before he'll surface. And this is still a very active and ongoing investigation that's being led by state police at this time. Quincy's police chief assured me there's no threat to the public. On scene in Quincy, I'm Daniel Coates for your local station, Boston 25 News.
