VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia Beach police on Saturday night were looking for a person who went into the Elizabeth River.

Police said officers saw a person go into the water near Behl Court and Jonathan's Cove Drive which is near the South Military Highway Bridge. Officers never saw the person resurface.

Authorities did not immediately provide a description of the person, though they tell News 3 they were believed to be the suspect in a larceny and indecent exposure case.

However, police add that there was not a pursuit by officers prior to the person entering the water.

Investigators were sad to have picked up their search Sunday morning.
