Stolen car goes airborne 'Dukes of Hazzard' style amid police chase — but occupants sure ain't no Bo or Luke



Police in Aurora, Colorado, got involved in a vehicle chase shortly after midnight earlier this month — and officers weren't by any stretch up against some "good old boys, never meanin' no harm" as Waylon Jennings famously crooned.

In fact, police said the vehicle they were after was reported stolen — and things only got worse.

'We'll do anything, bro!'

Police said they first attempted to use StarChase equipment on the car in question; police said StarChase mechanisms are attached to the front of patrol vehicles, and when activated, they shoot a sticky GPS "dart" at the back of "whatever vehicle we are aiming at."

But cops said the dart missed, so officers activated their lights and sirens.

However, pulling over wasn't in the cards. Not only that, a masked back passenger leaned out of the car and pointed a gun at officers, police said.

While no shots were fired, police said officers knew "it was critical to stop these individuals. That’s when a pursuit began."

That's when things got even more, shall we say, hazardous.

Cops remarked that the car in question hit a median "Dukes of Hazzard" style — and police video indeed catches the moment when the vehicle goes airborne.

"It may be 2026, but cars probably shouldn’t be flying like that," cops remarked.

Police said the car crashed at Boiling Drive and North Hannibal Street, but the suspects still wouldn't call their desperate dash quits — and they decided to run for it.

It was all for naught, however, as cops said they soon found all three suspects — 18-year-old Angelo Munguia, 18-year-old Watti Heng, and a 17-year-old male — hiding in backyards.

One of them was heard on video begging as officers approached, "We'll do anything, bro!"

Munguia was facing charges of felony menacing, obstructing a peace officer, violation of a protection order, and motor vehicle trespass, police said, while Heng was facing charges of eluding, motor vehicle theft, and obstructing a peace officer.

"They were taken into custody and SHOCKER, the car did indeed come back stolen out of a neighboring city," police said.

And as Mr. Jennings knew all too well, "That's just a little bit more than the law will allow."

3 males — ages 8, 11, 12 — steal car, crash into house; driver, 11, says he learned how to steal cars from YouTube: Cops



Three males — ages 8, 11, 12 — were arrested Saturday after stealing a car, leading cops on a chase, and crashing into a home, police in Newburgh Heights, Ohio, told Blaze News. Newburgh Heights is about 12 minutes southeast of Cleveland.

Police said officers received an alert just before 3 p.m. from its Flock Safety license plate readers about a stolen car driving westbound on Harvard Avenue around East 54th Street.

The 11-year-old stated that 'something just came over his body, and he could not control it, he needed to take the car,' police said.

A Newburgh Heights officer spotted the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, but the driver fled from officers, police said.

The vehicle crashed into a home where three juveniles fled on foot, police said.

Officers quickly apprehended the occupants of the car and discovered that they were ages 8, 11, and 12, police said, adding that officers later determined the 11-year-old was the driver.

Police bodycam video shows the arresting officer drawing his gun on the 8-year-old and the 11-year-old males, who were cowering against a fence, and ordering them on their stomachs. One can be heard whimpering.

One of the males can be heard moaning that "I'm going to jail!" and "I'm sorry!"

As other officers arrive, one can be heard saying, "You should've thought about that before you got in the car." He added, "And you suck at driving." All three were placed in handcuffs.

The 12-year-old — who was wearing a gray hoodie adorned ironically with the words "Essentials: Fear of God" on the back — appeared to giggle and tell another male that "you gotta laugh."

An officer yanked him away from the fence and said, "Real funny, ain't it." He replied, "No, ma'am."

Police said they were seeking the following charges against the 11-year-old driver: failure to comply with order or signal of police officer and receiving stolen property. Police said they were seeking the following charges against the 8-year-old and 12-year-old: obstructing official business and receiving stolen property.

According to police, the juveniles stated they went to a store and saw "this car sitting there." The 11-year-old stated that "something just came over his body, and he could not control it, he needed to take the car," police said.

The 11-year-old said he and the 12-year-old "knew how to steal a car" from YouTube, police said.

"All three boys stated that they know right from wrong and admitted what they did was wrong," police said. "While in our custody, they were concerned about how this would affect Santa coming to bring them presents."

Police added that at one point, one of the juveniles said "he knew because of what they did he was going to get coal for Christmas."

The juveniles were released to their parents pending the filing of criminal charges in juvenile court, police said.

How police nailed driver accused of doing donuts in stolen car amid street takeover — even after giving cops the slip



A northwest Washington state sheriff's deputy spotted a black sports car taking over the intersection of 112th Street South and Pacific Avenue South doing donuts around 12:30 a.m. Saturday, the Pierce County Sheriff's Office said. The intersection appears to be in Parkland, which is about 20 minutes south of Tacoma.

However, as the deputy approached the intersection, the vehicle took off, officials said.

Deputies knocked on the door of a residence, and a male answered and claimed his friend had dropped off the Corvette earlier and did not know anything about it, officials said.

The deputy attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle failed to stop, and the deputy was unable to catch up to it, officials said.

The deputy used his radio to share the vehicle's direction of travel, and a sergeant picked up the pursuit — but lost sight of the car, officials said.

However, the sergeant later learned a black Corvette was listed as stolen and numerous other jurisdictions had similar encounters with the vehicle but were unable to catch it, officials said.

About an hour later, another deputy spotted a black Corvette in the area where police lost sight of it, officials said, adding that the Corvette matched the description of the vehicle that eluded deputies earlier.

Deputies soon learned the Corvette was stolen — and was the same vehicle they had been chasing, officials said.

Deputies knocked on the door of a residence, and a male answered and claimed his friend had dropped off the Corvette earlier and did not know anything about it, officials said.

But a bit more investigation revealed that the male being questioned had a social media account containing videos of him driving the stolen Corvette and doing donuts and other reckless driving crimes, officials said.

Deputies arrested the 21-year-old suspect for eluding, possession of a stolen vehicle, and obstruction of a law enforcement officer, officials said, adding that the male also had warrants in another jurisdiction for reckless driving and unlawful exhibition of speed.

"It's probably not a good idea to record yourself in a stolen vehicle doing donuts — and then post it to your social media," Dep. Carly Cappetto wisely warned on the sheriff's office clip.

Pair of 13-year-olds steal DoorDash driver's car left running, unattended; lead cops on high-speed chase — and lose: Police



A pair of 13-year-olds stole a car that a DoorDash driver left running and unattended Monday, led cops on a high-speed chase, crashed into another vehicle, took off on foot, and were soon arrested, according to police in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.

Much of the failed caper was caught on police dashcam and bodycam video.

'Oh, but they are just babies! I’m sorry, but this and other EXCUSES just don’t cut it. They and THEIR PARENTS need to be held ACCOUNTABLE.'

Police said after the car theft, officers quickly located the vehicle and tried a traffic stop — but the driver refused to stop, leading officers on a high-speed pursuit down West North Avenue.

Police said the suspects soon crashed into another vehicle and fled on foot.

Both suspects were taken into custody with the help of the Milwaukee Police Department, authorities said, adding that no one was seriously hurt.

Officers arrested the two 13-year-olds for hit-and-run, recklessly endangering safety, and resisting an officer, police said.

"Great job to our officers for their quick response and dedication to keeping our streets safe," police added in a Facebook post about the incident. "This is also an important reminder: Never leave your vehicle running and unattended. It only takes seconds for someone to steal it, and the consequences can be dangerous."

You can watch police dashcam and bodycam videos below; it's not clear why there is a time-stamp difference between them. Content warning: language:

How are people reacting?

Numerous individuals commented underneath the police department's social media post about the incident:

  • "And their parents should be held accountable," one commenter said. "Parental responsibility charges for all."
  • "They’ll be out and back on streets tomorrow, unfortunately," another user lamented.
  • "Watching them drive on the wrong side of the road made me nervous," another commenter observed. "That could’ve ended so badly. Glad they got 'em."
  • "Oh, but they are just babies!" another user noted sarcastically. "I’m sorry, but this and other EXCUSES just don’t cut it. They and THEIR PARENTS need to be held ACCOUNTABLE. ... [Five]-year-olds know the difference. It’s time to GROW UP and stop passing the buck to us law-abiding citizens!"
  • "Omg unbelievable," another commenter said. "I’m sure they’re good kids though, right? 13 years old and nothing better [to do]."

Male, 31, arrested for whopping 35th time; his latest infraction occurred the day before Christmas Eve, cops say



A 31-year-old male was just arrested for the 35th time — and his latest infraction took place in Florida the day before Christmas Eve, WOFL-TV reported.

Edgewater Police said a shoeless Kevin Campana on Monday broke into Hibiscus Wholesale Auto Parts Inc. and stole a car, the station noted. Edgewater is a coastal city about a half-hour south of Daytona Beach.

Records show Campana was arrested for the first time on Sept. 18, 2011, when he was 18 years old, WOFL said.

Officers told WOFL that Campana tried to flee police in the stolen car, after which a chase ensued that culminated in a head-on crash with a K-9 units vehicle.

The following bodycam video shows the chase and arrest. (Content warning: Language.)

Police told WOFL Campana was charged with multiple crimes related to burglary, theft, and attempting to flee from police.

Police added to the station that Campana most recently was out on bond after a Dec. 18 arrest on a charge of attempted burglary at a car dealership, Mullinax Ford of Central Florida.

Records show Campana was arrested for the first time on Sept. 18, 2011, when he was 18 years old, WOFL said. The station said a majority of his documented arrests were for burglary.

Police composed a humorous description of Campana's arrest on Facebook:

‘Twas the eve of Christmas Eve, and all through the town, a criminal named Kevin was causing a frown.
He broke into Hibiscus, with no shoes on his feet, and stole a customer’s car — what a real Christmas treat!
But Kevin's crime spree didn’t stop there, he drove like a man with nowhere to spare.
Through backroads and alleys, he tried to escape, but Edgewater’s finest had set the perfect shape.
He thought he could outrun, but he couldn't get far, when he met K-9 units head-on in his car.
he ride got disabled, and he started to cry, thinking that maybe, just maybe, he'd get by.
Well, Kevin was wrong — we had him that day, charged with burglary, theft, and fleeing the fray.
So here's a reminder, from the EPD crew:
Don't commit crimes, and don't try to flee too!
Merry Christmas to all, and to criminals a warning, don’t make us work on your holiday morning!
We’ll catch you, we’ll stop you, we’ll always prevail, in Edgewater, no one escapes the law's trail!

Homeowner opens fire on suspected burglar — who heads into another residence, steals truck, leads cops on high-speed chase



A homeowner in Sacramento, California, opened fire on a suspected burglar Friday afternoon, and the alleged crook headed into a different residence, stole a truck, and then led police on a high-speed chase.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office told KOVR-TV it received a 3 p.m. call about a burglary along Chandler Drive in south Sacramento.

Sheriff's spokesperson Amar Gandhi said in KOVR's video report that the suspect is a 'lifelong criminal' with a record showing more than 20 years of 'theft charges, gun charges, drug charges — you name it, he's got everything under the sun.'

Deputies told KCRA-TV the alleged thief — 40-year-old Emelio Correa — tried to break in; the family inside shouted for him to go away, but he refused.

Authorities told the station the suspect failed to get into the home — and investigators said the homeowner fired at least one gunshot at the suspect, KOVR noted. Deputies indicated the homeowner — a legal gun owner — shot the suspect in the hand, KCRA-TV reported, adding that the suspect's blood was left behind at the scene.

KOVR's video report about the incident shows police investigating a front-entrance window with a large bullet hole.

However, the suspect did get inside a different residence soon after. The owner of the second home told KRCA the suspect got in because the front door was accidentally left unlocked.

With that, the suspect entered the garage, found keys on a truck's front seat, and led deputies on a high-speed chase on Highway 99, KCRA reported.

Cuong Nguyen — the owner of the second residence — wasn't home during the incident but told KCRA the suspect plowed right into his garage door to steal his truck, after which half his garage door was "in the middle of the street" when he returned.

The chase ended after Correa hit spike strips near Arno Road and rolled the truck into a ditch, KCRA reported. The suspect was then taken into custody, KOVR noted.

Correa suffered minor injuries and was being held in Sacramento County jail on a $100,000 bond, KCRA reported, adding that he was expected in court Tuesday to face four felonies.

Sheriff's spokesperson Amar Gandhi said in KOVR's video report that the suspect is a "lifelong criminal" with a record showing more than 20 years of "theft charges, gun charges, drug charges — you name it, he's got everything under the sun."

Armed robbers get hilarious surprise involving their getaway car in the middle of heist: 'What a plot twist'



A trio of armed robbers received a hilarious surprise — well, not to them, at least — involving their getaway car while they were in the middle of their heist in Colorado over the weekend.

What happened?

Three armed and masked individuals allegedly robbed a check-cashing service in Commerce City Saturday morning, NBC News reported, citing the local police department.

While the news network said no injuries were reported, the crooks in question may have suffered bruised egos in regard to what went down outside.

Police said someone stole their getaway car in the middle of their armed robbery, NBC News reported.

"In an unexpected and ironic twist… as the trio was robbing the business…a fourth criminal stole their getaway vehicle… which may have already been stolen," police said in a Facebook post about the incident. "We don’t know. If we get a solid description of it, we will release that here."

Police added on the Facebook post that officers infiltrated the area and quickly chased down and arrested two of the three suspects accused of robbing Hi Lo Check Cashing in the 7200 block of Monaco just before 11 a.m.

If you were present during this crime or have any information about what occurred, police added that you can contact Detective Garcia at 303-227-7147.

How have folks been reacting?

As you might guess, commenters — and even police — have been just a tad tickled by the turn of events:

“We can’t make this stuff up,” Commerce City cops noted in a comment on their Facebook post.

Others were loving it, too:

  • "What a plot twist," another commenter said.
  • "I mean... criminals aren't generally smart," another commenter added.
  • "Apparently, one didn’t know their assignment," another commenter reasoned. "Getaway driver role… stay in car, keep car running, watch for popo AND DON’T let getaway car GET STOLEN!"

'A lot of blood': Man mows down 10 pedestrians in a stolen car while evading police. New Yorkers made sure he wouldn't get far on foot.



A 20-year-old man driving a stolen SUV mowed down at least 10 pedestrians, including two children, in Midtown Manhattan during rush hour Tuesday, according to police. Upon wrecking his stolen ride, the suspect took off on foot, but New Yorkers ensured he wouldn't get far.

According to the NYPD, the suspect, who does not have a New York State driver's license and was described as "white or Hispanic," was driving a 2018 Hyundai Tucson with Illinois plates that had been reported stolen from the Bronx on July 31.

A license plate reader alerted police to the vehicle's presence at 45th Street and 2nd Avenue around 5:30 p.m.

Officers began following the vehicle while attempting to verify it had in fact been stolen. Having determined the report was accurate, police attempted to pull the vehicle over at 43rd Street and 3rd Avenue amid heavy traffic.

Although the driver initially motioned to comply, he quickly altered course, hit the gas, and attempted to evade the officers, striking a bicyclist, said police.

Patrol Borough Manhattan South Deputy Chief James Kehoe told reporters that officers remained in pursuit, but did so "at a lower rate of speed because of the heavy traffic."

After hitting a yellow taxi, the suspect pulled onto the sidewalk, where he plowed through several pedestrians near Grand Central Station.

"It was crazy, it was horrific," Michael Discioarro, a witness to the mayhem, told the New York Post.

Discioarro indicated one "victim on the ground was seriously injured. A lot of blood."

"Another victim was laid up against the door of a store. She was clearly hurt," said Discioarro. "Her leg was twisted in a way you shouldn’t twist a leg."

The Daily Mail reported that one witness saw a victim go "flying through the air" after being struck.

At a crowded 42nd Avenue intersection, the suspect made a U-turn, hitting additional victims, then sped down Lexington Avenue going the wrong way.

The vehicular component of the chase came to an end when the suspect barreled into a black 2011 Toyota RAV-4.

— (@)

Although his stolen ride was immobilized, the suspect carried on, making a mad dash through the nearby crowd. However, bystanders intervened, pinning him until police could arrive.

Video obtained by the Post shows multiple Good Samaritans tackling the suspect to the ground, then holding him down while he kicked and flailed.

"When the cops showed up, the guy they took into custody was trying to fight with the cops — trying to push the cops away," said Discioarro.

While police got their man, a female suspect who had been with him managed to get away and remains on the loose, according to authorities.

Kehoe indicated, "Upon initial review of this incident, it does not appear to have any connection to terrorist activity."

Among the 10 victims taken to Bellevue Hospital, all of whom survived with non-life-threatening injuries, were a 6-year-old and a 10-year-old. The eldest victim is 72.

The suspect reportedly is known to police, with several previous arrests including two on gun charges and others for drug crimes.

Teens crash stolen car, killing infant; slither off with only misdemeanor charges



Two teens face only misdemeanor charges after a baby was killed and three family members were injured in a crash involving a stolen vehicle the boys were driving, WLS-TV reported.

"Our sweet boy Cristian ... suffered from an impact that fractured his skull, causing his brain to swell and eventually killing him," Annelisse Rivera wrote on a GoFundMe page for the family.

"We are a family of believers in Jesus, and we know that we will see our sweet boy again one day. Until that day comes, we will cherish the short time we had with him forever."

The horrific crash that killed 6-month-old Cristian Uvidia took place in the Chicago community of West Garfield Park in the 4400 block of West Washington around 5 p.m. April 16.

The four teens in the stolen Hyundai Sonata were apparently joyriding when they plowed into the family's pickup truck.

Little Cristian's mother and two sisters ages 15 and 7 were also in the truck. They were taken to the hospital to be treated for their injuries, the outlet also reported.

"The baby wasn't breathing, so we started doing CPR," Shawn Walker told WFLD.

Walker's surveillance cameras caught the disturbing scene that ended with the Hyundai crashed into a light pole and the pickup truck crashed into a large tree.

Walker, neighbors, and passersby immediately rushed to the scene to render aid.

"My main thing was so we could get a pulse back into the baby," Walker said.

Baby Cristian was pronounced dead the day after the crash, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office, CBS News reported.

"It's really disheartening," Rivera told the outlet, responding to news of the charges two of the teens are facing.

Of the four occupants in the stolen Hyundai, two are facing charges. A 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy are charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass to a vehicle, CBS News reported. No further charges have yet been brought against the teens, a spokesperson for the Chicago police told the New York Post Sunday evening.

As of Monday afternoon, a GoFundMe campaign to benefit the family had raised $37,510.

"Earth lost a beautiful baby boy, but heaven gained its most beautiful angel," Rivera wrote on the GoFundMe page.

"We are moved to tears by your generosity and your love."

13-year-old male fatally shot by DC homeowner who confronted him, 2 other juveniles about car break-ins at 4 a.m.; cops believe teen used stolen car found nearby



A 13-year-old male was fatally shot by a Washington, D.C., homeowner who confronted him and two other juveniles about car break-ins around 4 a.m. Saturday, WTTG-TV reported, adding that police believe the shot teen used a stolen car found nearby.

What are the details?

The station said in its video report that the unidentified homeowner confronted the teen — identified as Karon Blake — and two other juveniles in the 1000 block of Quincy Street in the northeast section of the nation's capital after seeing cars being broken into.

Police did not release specific details about the confrontation, WTTG said, but added that the teen was shot multiple times, and there was no indication he was armed.

The station said there's no indication of who placed the 911 call reporting the incident, but investigators said arriving officers found the homeowner performing CPR on the teen, who was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

Investigators added that the homeowner is cooperating with authorities, and that the gun used in the shooting is legally registered, WTTG reported.

Police also found a car on Quincy Street that had been reported stolen, and cops believe the 13-year-old used it, the station said.

Investigators believe two other juveniles also were involved in the incident, WTTG said, adding that a neighbor in the area said those two juveniles tried fleeing the scene in a vehicle before bailing out in an alley and running off.

Will the homeowner be charged?

Authorities are working to determine if any criminal charges are warranted against the homeowner, the station said.

WTTG said in a separate story that officials are working with the U.S. Attorney's Office to determine if there will be charges.

The station noted that the community calls for transparency and accountability are growing louder.

"I'm at a loss for words as to what would possess a resident to take matters into their own hands and take the life of a young person," Ward 5 council member Zachary Parker — who's been in office for a week — told WTTG.

Parker remarked to the station "how little information is being released about the person that took Karon's life," and that he's joining with neighbors and calling on police to release information and hold the individual accountable.

Parker added to the Washington Post that he has “deep concerns about neighbors taking justice into their own hands" and that "our young people deserve long lives with the opportunity to dream big. Healthy communities are safe communities, where we all work together to care for one another and invest in everyone’s well-being.”

D.C. council member Christina Henderson tweeted that she would check in with D.C. Public Schools and the Department of Behavioral Health to ensure that Brookland Middle School — where Karon attended — has proper support, WRC-TV reported.

"Property is not greater than life. Karon should be alive today," Henderson tweeted.

\u201cProperty is not greater than life. Karon should be alive today. \n\nI\u2019m checking in with DCPS and the Dept of Behavioral Health to make sure the Brookland MS community has the appropriate support in the days and months ahead.\u201d
— Christina Henderson (@Christina Henderson) 1673276769

Anything else?

The middle school's principal in an email to parents described Karon as a quiet and inquisitive sixth grader who loved football and fashion and said he leaves behind his mother and three sisters, WTTG said.

Brookland Middle School was to honor Karon's life Monday, the station added, and mental health services will be available for both staff and students this week.
