A high-speed pursuit that began in Edison ended several miles away in Linden on Thursday morning.

Linden residents exiting their homes for work and school noticed heavy police presence in the area of West Munsell Avenue and North Stiles Street before 8:30 a.m. with a male suspect in handcuffs and escorted to a police cruiser by Linden Police.
According to a statement released by Linden Police, the police pursuit that began in Edison arrived in our city at around 8:25 Thursday morning.
Officials said Linden police officers responded after the driver lost control and crashed his Ducati motorcycle at the corner of West Munsell Avenue and North Stiles Street where the driver fled the scene but was located by our officers a few blocks away.
"The suspect was not charged with any crimes in Linden," officials said in the statement.
Officers from Edison responded and took custody of the suspect with no severe injuries reported.
