Around 12:15 a.m. Wednesday, a Moraine officer observed a wrong-way driver on South Dixie Drive at the intersection with Dorothy Lane, Moraine police Sgt. Chris Selby said.
Selby said the Moraine officer attempted to pull the vehicle over for a traffic stop, but the vehicle refused to stop and continued traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of South Dixie Drive.
The officer started a pursuit, but determined it was too dangerous, and ended the chase, Selby said.
Kettering police located the vehicle moments after the Moraine officer terminated his chase, and pursued the vehicle until it crashed into a dead end on Heritage Point Drive.
Three occupants of the vehicle ran from the scene. Initial reports indicated one juvenile was arrested shortly after the pursuit ended, while the second juvenile was located and arrested a few minutes later on South Patterson Boulevard near Carillon Park.
Selby said a K9 officer from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office responded and attempted to track the third suspect but was unsuccessful.
Selby said the vehicle was later determined to be stolen from Harrison Twp.
Additional details were not available.
