GARLAND, Texas Authorities arrested four teens who allegedly stole a vehicle and led officers in pursuit through Dallas before crashing the car into a squad vehicle, according to Garland police.
Around 11 p.m. Monday, a Garland police officer saw a Honda Pilot drive out of a parking lot at a local park in the 3900 block of Lawler Road. The driver was speeding and ran a stop sign, according to police.
The officer tried to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver allegedly refused to pull over and sped up, police say.
The driver then led officers through Dallas and Richardson and eventually drove into a dead-end road in the 600 block of Woodhaven Place in Richardson, according to police.
