"LIVERMORE Two boys a 14-year-old suspected driver and a 15-year-old passenger were arrested Tuesday after leading police on a chase in a stolen car that ended up crashing into an apartment building. Police said it was the second time in less than a week that the 14-year-old had fled police in a stolen vehicle. Authorities did not release information about that pursuit."
"Officers followed the vehicle off the freeway onto Isabel Avenue and attempted to stop it near Jack London and Murrieta boulevards. The driver failed to stop and a pursuit began with the vehicle traveling at high speed twice the posted limit at times and running stop signs, police said. Officers briefly lost sight of the vehicle but later spotted it again at the Leahy Square Apartments, some three miles away in the 3200 block of Leahy Way."
Two boys, a 14-year-old suspected driver and a 15-year-old passenger, were arrested after a police pursuit in a stolen vehicle ended with the car crashing into an apartment building. Officers spotted a vehicle matching a stolen-vehicle report on Interstate 580 around 1 a.m. and followed it off the freeway onto local streets. The driver failed to stop, reached speeds up to twice the posted limit, and ran stop signs during the pursuit. The vehicle was later located at Leahy Square Apartments; the suspects fled the moving car, which rolled into the building and caused about $5,000 in damage. The vehicle had been reported stolen the previous day. Both youths were detained, arrested on multiple charges, and booked at Alameda County Juvenile Hall.
