MADISON, Wis. — Two teens, previously in trouble with the law, were arrested again Thursday morning following a burglary and police chase in the Madison area.
Police were dispatched to a home on Woods End around 6:15 a.m., according to a release from the Madison Police Department. This is near the intersection of Mineral Point Road and S. Midvale Blvd.
A man reported the break-in after spotting five people, including someone carrying a gun, on his home security system.
Police said the burglars cut a screen and entered the home through an unlocked window. They stole several items, including a light-colored Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Using the Jeep’s GPS technology, police were able to track down the vehicle two hours later in Monona.
Two 14-year-old boys led officers on a high speed chase before crashing on Grandview Blvd., according to the release. Police said they used spikes to flatten one of the vehicle’s tires.
A man living in the area sent home security video showing the chase to News 3 Now. We have zoomed in on the vehicles involved to protect the man’s privacy.
Police said a K-9 officer was used to corral the teens as they tried to run away from the screen.
Both teens were wearing court-ordered electronic monitoring ankle bracelets, according to the release.
