A 12-year-old boy was arrested on November 27 after leading police on a brief pursuit across Washington state in his grandfather’s stolen car.
The incident began when the boy, whose identity has not been released, took the vehicle from his grandfather’s home in Issaquah.
The boy drove over 160 miles across the mountains before being spotted by deputies in Grant County. After a short chase, police used a PIT maneuver to stop the vehicle near Randolph Road and State Route 17.
