Officers intercepted a stolen vehicle as it left the neighborhood and were able to use a device to flatten its tires.
The chase lasted 10 minutes with a top speed of 30 mph due to the flat tires.
With the help of deputies from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Trotwood Police Department, a 17-year-old male was taken into custody after he bailed from the vehicle in the 3700 block of Barbarosa Drive.
He was booked into the Juvenile Intervention Center on felony charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle and failure to comply with the order/signal of a police officer (fleeing).
Englewood police said this is the second time in less than a year that they have arrested the teen for similar crimes.
