BLANDING, Utah — The sheriff's offices in San Juan County and Washington County warned residents of crime suspects who were on the run Tuesday night.

San Juan officials said a man and woman stole a car in Monticello and later fled on foot near Recapture Reservoir, along Highway 191 just north of Blanding. As a precaution, they asked the public to avoid the area and to not stop for hitchhikers in the area.

Meanwhile, in Washington County, police issued a "Shelter in place" alert in Hurricane. This was due to a suspect who also fled from officers on foot but was later apprehended.

It's not known at this time whether any of these suspects were armed.
