Kent police arrested three juveniles who led officers on a high-speed chase while driving a stolen vehicle Tuesday afternoon.
FILE - A Kent Police Department patrol vehicle is seen parked along Pacific Highway South on Saturday, Dec. 23, 2023.
Kent police said the officer positioned himself at James and Central before spotting the vehicle driving southbound on Central. He then verified that the vehicle was stolen and requested backup so he could initiate a high-risk traffic stop, police said. When the Kent officer activated his emergency equipment, the stolen vehicle sped up and attempted to escape officers, police said.
The vehicle's driver and two passengers immediately exited the stolen car and tried to escape on foot, police said. The officer quickly caught up to the male driver, 16, and placed him into custody, according to officials. Officers later determined the 16-year-old driver was a resident of Seattle.
