Car theft suspect crashes trying to evade arrest
POSTED: 09:12 a.m. HST, Dec 31, 2008
A 19-year-old car-theft suspect who evaded police Tuesday was arrested early today in Manoa after crashing as he tried to elude capture again.
On Monday, a 50-year-old woman’s car was stolen in Chinatown and her son reported it to police. At about 4 a.m. Tuesday, a police sergeant saw the car being driven downtown. But the suspect avoided capture by driving recklessly, police said.
At about 12:45 a.m. today, a patrol officer spotted the vehicle in Manoa and chased the suspect who sped off. Police said he lost control and struck a telephone pole on the corner of Manoa Road and Nehoa Street.
Police arrested the teenager on suspicion of two counts of auto theft, two counts of reckless driving, second-degree robbery and three outstanding arrest warrants.
A 53-year-old male passenger was arrested on suspicion of second-degree unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle.
