Authorities are looking for a man who tried to steal a vehicle in Council Bluffs. Council Bluffs Police told The Daily NonPareil a man attempted to steal a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 from a lot in the 700 block of Veterans Memorial Highway around 5:30 a.m. Saturday.

The suspect allegedly pulled the vehicle out of the lot and, as he attempted to leave, rear-ended a legally-parked 2008 GMC Sierra, disabling the Dodge pickup truck, police said. The suspect then fled the scene on foot. Police estimated damage to the two vehicles at $500 each.

An investigation into the incident continues.
