LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4) - A juvenile driving a stolen car led police on a chase in Littleton that ended with a crash and short bike chase.
The stolen vehicle was spotted around 9:20 p.m. Wednesday by police in Centennial, who then activated their lights. The juvenile driver took off at a high rate of speed and the police followed.
