Brevard County deputies are hunting for several people who fled after a traffic stop on southbound I-95 near St. Johns Heritage Parkway Monday morning. The incident occurred around 6 a.m. when Florida Highway Patrol troopers and Brevard County deputies responded to a vehicle being pulled over on the side of the interstate. A white van was stopped near the interchange, and multiple individuals ran from the scene. Deputies said they are assisting FHP in the search.
Law enforcement vehicles were seen in the area during the early morning hours. Brevard County officials confirmed the suspects fled the scene after the traffic stop. No details about the reason for the stop or the number of people involved were immediately available. Authorities have not released information on whether any charges are pending.
The search is ongoing, with deputies and FHP working to locate the individuals. Channel 9 is reporting that more details will be shared as they become available. Residents in the area are advised to remain cautious and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
