A couple from Dallas, Texas were arrested Monday afternoon following a pursuit in Pottawattamie County. Sheriff Jeff Danker told KJAN News 25-year old Mario Guerrero-Jaquez and 30-year old Elsa Aguirre, were charged with Theft in the 1st degree, after they allegedly stole a white Ford F-350 pickup from the parking lot of the AMC Theater in Council Bluffs.

The incident began at around 3:30-p.m.   Danker says Elsa Aguirre was following her boyfriend in a black Ford pickup after the other vehicle was stolen. A deputy observed the vehicles traveling north on Interstate 29 and engaged in a pursuit. The vehicles exited at the Crescent interchange and proceeded south on another road before the F-350 became stuck in a field, and the other truck went into a ditch.

Both suspects were apprehended and brought to the Pott. County Jail, where they were being held on $10,000 bond, each.
