3 Woburn Teens Arrested In Stoneham After Stolen Car Chase: Police

STONEHAM, MA — Three teens from Woburn were arrested Friday after Stoneham police said the trio led officers on a multi-city chase in a stolen car.

Boston 25 News reported that one of the teens was arrested after a foot pursuit, while the other two were apprehended after a search and investigation.

The teens, ages 16, 16 and 18, were not named, though authorities said they expected the 18-year-old to be identified after a criminal complaint is filed on Monday, according to Boston 25 News.

According to the station, the 16-year-old juvenile driver will be charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle, leaving the scene of property damage, failure to stop for police, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, speeding, failure to maintain marked lanes, failure to stop at a stop sign or traffic lights, and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license.

The 18-year-old and 16-year-old, who reportedly were passengers in the car, were charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle, the station reported.

All three teens are expected to be summonsed to be arraigned in court at a later date, according to Boston 25 News.

According to police reports, on Friday afternoon, Stoneham police received a be-on-the-lookout alert after a white Audi was reported stolen in Winchester.

The vehicle also was involved in an attempted carjacking in Medford, according to police.

The Medford Police said its officers pursued the suspects, but eventually lost contact with the vehicle.

The Stoneham PD said that at about 5:30 p.m., one of its officers located the vehicle near the intersection of Main Street and South Street and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. But the vehicle fled.

According to the department, the vehicle traveled north on Main Street before making a left on Pond Street and a right on Franklin Street and then crashing into a residence on Franklin Street.

The Stoneham PD said the three suspects exited the vehicle and fled. The department said that one of its officers pursued a suspect on foot, eventually taking the suspect into custody.

The subsequent search for the two suspects involved two Massachusetts State Police K-9s and the department's Air Wing.

Eventually, the two other suspects were positively identified and arrested, police said.

Stoneham police said the Franklin Street home where the car crashed only suffered minor damage and did not require a visit by the building inspector.
