A Chicago teen is facing charges after allegedly leading police officers on a high-speed chase through suburban Cook County over the weekend.
On Friday around 6:16 p.m., officers located a Hyundai Elantra that had been reported stolen from Bellwood the day before, according to the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office.
Officers pursued the car which was allegedly being driven by a 16-year-old boy. The boy led officers from multiple departments on a high-speed chase through multiple cities before getting onto I-290 in Cook County, where he was followed by a police helicopter.Officers were eventually able to stop the car and the boy got out and tried to run away. He was taken into custody after a brief pursuit.
"The increasing trend of suspects fleeing from police is extremely dangerous and must stop," DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement. "In DuPage County, we will use every tool at our disposal to catch those who flee, including a helicopter, as in this case.
