Keith said the chase began around 6:30 a.m. in Guadalupe County when deputies detected a vehicle that was stolen out of Pennsylvania.

Guadalupe County deputies began a pursuit that ended up crossing into Bexar County. Once the truck made it into Bexar County, Bexar County Sheriff's deputies took over the pursuit.

When the truck entered the San Antonio city limits deputies received assistance from the sky with help from DPS and SAPD. 

A tweet from the BCSO said a helicopter was following the truck so that deputies could keep their distance and ensure public safety.

The vehicle ultimately ended up in the 3800 block of Fredericksburg Road at a Valero gas station where deputies apprehended the suspect, a Pennsylvania native, without incident.
