In a recent incident, four teenagers were apprehended for their involvement in a series of car break-ins, thefts, and subsequent attempts to evade law enforcement. However, what makes this story particularly intriguing is the fact that it unfolds with the presence of two vehicles.
These teens committed multiple instances of car theft, evaded a traffic stop, and crashed
According to a report by WHEC News 10, police officers in Rochester, New York, recently received a call about a car theft at an apartment complex. When they arrived at the scene, they witnessed two stolen vehicles, a Hyundai and a Kia, speeding away. The officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but both drivers refused to comply and continued driving.
While attempting to bring the car theft suspects to a halt, the officers at the scene witnessed one of the two vehicles driving recklessly. This involved driving on sidewalks and swerving across lanes. Eventually, the driver of the stolen Hyundai collided, resulting in the immediate apprehension of one of the suspects. Subsequently, two additional individuals were discovered and apprehended in the nearby woods.
The police persisted in their efforts to bring the stolen Kia to a halt, but their pursuit ultimately resulted in a collision. Thankfully, they were able to apprehend the driver, along with three other teenagers involved in the incident. Following the crash, all four individuals were taken to the hospital for medical evaluation. They now face a series of severe charges, with grand larceny being the most notable offense.
