After leading police on a high-speed chase, a juvenile is in custody today after being caught in Fremont. It all started on the Viaduct when police say they identified a stolen vehicle. The pursuit was called off at the Battery Street Tunnel for safety concerns, but officers discovered the crashed vehicle, minus the driver, near the intersection of Bridge Way and Woodland Park. SPD explains what happens next:
Immediately after locating the vehicle, 911 received a call of an attempted burglary from a residence in the 3800 Block of Woodland Park Avenue N., a house very close to the crash site. The suspect had been seen in the backyard and appeared to be trying to find a way into the house, before the resident and three dogs were able to scare him away. The suspect was then spotted climbing over a fence in the backyard.
A K9 unit led police to the suspect, and the juvenile was arrested.
