Mass. 13-year-old charged with driving stolen car following car chase with police
Stoughton police arrested a Brockton 13-year-old in connection with driving a stolen car following an early Monday morning car chase, according to police. Shortly before 1:40 a.m. on June 9, a Stoughton police officer was on patrol on Route 138 when he noticed three vehicles driving north at a high rate of speed, Stoughton police said in a press release. The officer tried to stop the vehicles, but all three fled the scene. The officer initially pursued the vehicles, but stopped when they reached the Canton town line, Stoughton police said. Stoughton police then received a report that a Hyundai Elantra had been stolen from Manor Drive. The officer soon determined that it was one of the three vehicles he'd chased, Stoughton police said. He began pursuing the stolen Hyundai again and briefly chased it onto I-93 before it exited the highway near the Ponkapoag Walking Trail and crashed. Three people wearing ski masks ran from the car, Stoughton police said. A Brockton 15-year-old was quickly arrested, but the two other suspects fled onto the trail. Canton police soon alerted Stoughton police that they had stopped two people who were knocking on doors and asking for a ride or a phone charger, Stoughton police said. Stoughton police were then able to arrest the remaining suspects: the Brockton 13-year-old and 18-year-old Brockton resident Aydan Miguel Rivera. The preliminary police investigation indicates that the three teens broke one of the Hyundai's windows to get inside the locked car and were able to start it without the keys, Stoughton police said. Investigators believe the 13-year-old drove the stolen Hyundai during the car chase with police. Police also determined that one of the vehicles seen by the Stoughton police officer had been stolen from Abington, Stoughton police said. It later crashed on Turnpike Street in Canton, but investigators were unable to locate the driver. The 13-year-old has been charged with larceny of a motor vehicle, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and failure to stop for police, Stoughton police said. Rivera and the 15-year-old are both facing a charge of larceny of a motor vehicle. Rivera pleaded not guilty to the charge during his arraignment in Stoughton District Court on Monday and was released on bail with conditions, according to court records. The 13-year-old and 15-year-old are set to be arraigned in Dedham Juvenile Court, Stoughton police said. 'I want to commend the quick and coordinated work of our officers, who resolved a dangerous situation without injuries to anyone,' Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara said in the press release.
