According to the Minnetonka Police Department, officers were assisting in a vehicle pursuit with South Lake Minnetonka Police on Highway 7.

Four people fled the vehicle on foot, three of which were arrested by police.

However, a fourth person remains unaccounted for. Police said the person was last seen running south of Highway 7, east of Woodland Road.

There is no known threat to the public according to police.
