Three Minors Taken Into Custody After Stolen-Car Chase Ends in Crash in Milwaukee

A brief pursuit ended with a crashed unoccupied vehicle followed by the arrests of three fleeing children.

Overview

  • Deputies were dispatched after an alert of a stolen car at Kosciuszko Park and later located the vehicle several blocks away near 11th Street and Arthur Avenue.
  • Officers attempted a traffic stop but the vehicle kept going and was later found crashed into a fence at 11th Street and Rogers.
  • Deputies found three children running from the crash scene and took them into custody: a 12-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy.
  • Local authorities say all three minors were interviewed and booked into custody and the case is expected to move through juvenile processing rather than adult court.
  • Police statements say the vehicle was reported stolen earlier and no injuries or formal charges were listed in initial reports, so further investigation and charging decisions are still pending.
