Seattle juveniles face felony charges after crime spree ends in multi-car crash

Five juveniles arrested in a crime spree that ended in a multi-car crash Tuesday in Seattle are facing serious felony charges, including burglary, malicious mischief, theft of a motor vehicle, theft and attempted theft of a motor vehicle.

In court Wednesday, four out of the five suspects had first appearance hearings, and the court ordered all four to remain in custody for the community’s safety. The youngest suspect in the group is just 12 years old.

Seattle police say this is not the first crime these suspects have been involved in, and investigators believe they were also responsible for a string of serious crimes last month.

One witness, Chris Hegge, who recorded video of the juvenile suspects being arrested, told KOMO News he was crossing the street when a white car came flying through the light and crashed into a blue SUV. According to Hegge, police immediately arrested three kids inside a stolen vehicle and caught up with two others who tried to run not far from the scene.
