Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. A crash ended a vehicle chase in Mooresville Thursday morning. According to WBTV, "a vehicle chase involving five suspects ended in a crash early Thursday morning, the Mooresville Police Department says. Officers say around 2:33 a.m. on Nov. 3, they observed a breaking and entering of vehicles in the Gateway Blvd. area. When officers approached, five suspects fled in a stolen 2017 Kia Optima four-door sedan. This led to a police pursuit and after a successful deployment of a tire deflation device, a crash of the suspect vehicle occurred in the area of Highway 70 and Hurley School Road in Salisbury. Due to the crash, the suspects needed medical attention. A 16-year-old juvenile and two adults were treated and medically cleared at Rowan Regional Medical Center and a second 16-year-old and a 17-year-old remain hospitalized. During a search of the stolen vehicle, police located three firearms, two of which have been confirmed as stolen. The two adults, Kaylani Dejesus, 18, and Keishawn Hatchett, 19, of Charlotte, were charged with felony breaking or entering a motor vehicle and felony larceny of a firearm. They each received a $50,000 secured bond." (WBTV)
2. Want to add a new member to your family? Look no further than these Mooresville animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many shelters are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for a lovable new fur child is at Lake Norman Humane, where Gidget the dog is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've amassed this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like String Bean, a Shepherd up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too.(Mooresville Patch)
3. The announcement has come that Menards will partner with JR Motorsports and Brandon Jones in 2023. According to JR Motorsports, "A Wisconsin-based company, Menards will be a primary partner on board Jones' No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro in 33 NASCAR Xfinity Series races next season. Menards, headquartered in Eau Claire, Wis., is a family-owned company started in 1958 that operates 335 home improvement stores in 15 states in the Midwest. The company's partnership with Jones dates to his first NXS start in 2015. Its relationship with team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. goes back even further. Earnhardt Jr. won three NXS races in a co-branded Menards Chevrolet as part of the Chance2 Motorsports and Dale Earnhardt, Inc. programs in 2004 and 2006."(JR Motorsports)
