This past Monday morning at around 3:00, the Gloucester Township Police Department says they received an alert about a stolen vehicle in the Lincoln Avenue area of Blackwood.

Troopers spotted that vehicle on Route 42 and pursued it, however, they called off their chase due to "extremely reckless driving" from the suspect.

Camden County officers later located it and attempted another pursuit, but it was also terminated due to reckless driving.

Using automated license plate readers, detectives determined that the vehicle was being driven around the City of Camden, and multiple law enforcement agencies converged on its location, where they found it being driven by a juvenile.
