Juveniles In Stolen Car

Amarillo Police report several juveniles were caught in a stolen car on Wednesday, July 6th.

They say an Amarillo patrol car spotted the stolen vehicle that was occupied and tried to pull the car over, but the car drove away.

Undercover officers were near the scene, and the patrol car canceled the pursuit.

APD officers say the driver began driving safely after the pursuit was halted, but the SWAT Team had already been called in.

That’s when the driver lost control and smashed the car into a concrete pole. Three occupants tried to exit the car and got away on foot, but one occupant of the car remained in it.

One of the occupants were treated for injuries he sustained in the crash.

So far, it is not known if any of the juveniles have been arrested.
