SOUTH BEND -- City and county police surrounded South Bend Regional Airport Monday night in pursuit of a wanted felon who tried to board a Chicago-bound bus.

The suspect, wanted on burglary charges, was identified by airport security as he tried to board a Greyhound bus departing from the airport.

He fled on foot when officers pursued him, leading a chase through the airport terminal. Officers lost sight of him in the parking lot, they said.

City and county police were called to assist, and used two canines and high-beam lights to search the airport and surrounding area for about an hour.

As of 10:15 p.m., they had not found the suspect, believed to be armed.

The airport remained open during the search.
