GLEN BURNIE, MD – A 17-year-old car thief trying to elude police in Glen Burnie was later found hiding in the woods, sniffed out by a police K-9.
On Tuesday, at around 3 am police tried to stop a speeding vehicle in the area of Dorsey Road and Central Avenue.
Chasing officers gave up pursuit due to the reckless nature of the fleeing suspect but were tipped off minutes later about a collision involving the vehicle in the area of 8th Avenue and Mae Wagner Lane. The teen car thief fled the crash scene on foot.
“Officers learned that the vehicle was reported stolen the day prior,” the Anne Arundel County Police Department reported. “A perimeter was established, and with the assistance of K-9 officers, the driver was located hiding in a nearby wooded area and taken into custody without incident. The driver was arrested and charged accordingly.”
He was identified as a 17-year-old male. His name was not released due to his age.
