MIAMI ā€“ Police officers in a helicopter and in marked and unmarked cars were involved in a chase on Monday afternoon in Miami-Dade County.

Law enforcement followed the driver of a silver Honda Pilot fast on an expressway and slowly on streets ā€” until he surrendered with his arms extended in Opa-locka.

Police said the chase started at Northwest Seventh Avenue and Little River Drive. The SUV was stolen, they said.

The driver stopped with a flat tire at about 2:45 p.m., and police officers surrounded the SUV, near the intersection of the Douglas/Le Jeune connector and Ali Baba Avenue.
