Four 14-year-olds are facing criminal charges in Western New York after leading State Police on a car chase.
Shortly after three Sunday morning, Troopers out of Lockport observed a 2002 Toyota Camry fail to stop at a stop sign at Ohio Street and West Ave in Lockport. Troopers attempted to conduct a traffic stop and the Toyota failed to comply. Troopers initiated a pursuit. The Toyota struck a fence off Vine Street and the vehicle came to rest. All four teens fled on foot from the vehicle.
Troopers with the assistance of Lockport Police Department and Niagara County Sheriff’s Office located and arrested all the suspects in the area.
The Toyota had been recently stolen, the owner did not know the vehicle was taken. The Toyota was unlocked with the keys in the vehicle.
All four of the 14-year-olds were charged with criminal possession of stolen property and two were charged with resisting arrest.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
