Seattle Teens Arrested After Stealing, Crashing Maserati: Cops

SEATTLE, WA -- Seattle police said it arrested two teens who allegedly stole two high-end luxury cars, crashing one of them, and led officers on a foot chase. The incident began on Sunday when a Georgetown dealership reported a 2015 Maserati Ghibli and a 2016 Lexus IS-350 were stolen from the showroom floor.

Bicycle officers spotted the stolen cars around 12:45 p.m. Monday in a parking lot at Rainier Beach. The Maserati was spotted again at 4:20 p.m. driving northbound on Martin Luther King Jr. Way South at a high rate of speed, police said.

An officer was able to block the path of the Maserati near 46th Avenue South and South Garden Street, prompting both juvenile suspects to run on foot.

Meanwhile, the driver of the Maserati forgot to put the vehicle in park when he fled, and the unoccupied car rolled across the street, striking a stop sign and a parked vehicle in a driveway before coming to rest, police said.

The 17-year-old boys were eventually caught and booked into the Youth Services Center.

This remains an active and on-going investigation, police said.
