More Winnipeg teens face charges after stolen truck purposely hits cop car

Published Tuesday May 13th, 2008

WINNIPEG - There's another case in Winnipeg in which police say teens in a stolen vehicle purposely crashed into an unmarked cop car.

Const. Blair Good says a stolen pickup truck hit the police car so hard Monday night that it was disabled. The driver and two passengers took off, while a scuffle ensued with a third passenger who was armed with a screwdriver.

Four teens are facing charges for failing to comply with court orders.

It's the latest case involving young people and stolen vehicles in the Manitoba capital.

Three officers were recently injured trying to stop a stolen SUV and three innocent bystanders have been killed by stolen vehicles in the last year.
