Police chase stolen car

WARREN

Police chased a stolen car starting at 11:47 p.m. Saturday from Summit Street Northwest to Parkman Road, Garden Street, Robert Avenue and Tod Avenue, then several other streets in the Northwest area before it crashed on Norwood Avenue Northwest, splitting a telephone pole in two and striking a ditch.

The fleeing vehicle continued onto several other streets, crashing again at Linda Drive and Autumn Drive Northwest. The 17-year-old male police believe was driving fled on foot and escaped. Girls age 14 and 16 got out of the vehicle and ran, but the 16-year-old returned to the car and was taken into custody. The girl, who told police the identity of the two others, was charged with a curfew violation.
