CHESAPEAKE, Va. – A juvenile male was taken into custody Sunday morning after leading police on a brief pursuit in a stolen vehicle that ended in a crash near Greenbrier Middle School, authorities said.
According to the Chesapeake Police Department, officers responded around 9:06 a.m. to a report of a stolen vehicle in the area of Kempsville Road and Greenbrier Parkway. Moments later, they spotted the vehicle in a shopping center parking lot in the 1300 block of Greenbrier Parkway and attempted a traffic stop.
