Accused Teenage Car Thief Well Known By Police When It Comes To Stealing Vehicles

Madison police used D-N-A found on an airbag to identify the driver of a stolen S-U-V.  The 14-year-old boy accused of driving the vehicle when it crashed last September is well-known to authorities as being “prolific” at stealing cars and trucks.  His name hasn’t been released.  Police say the teen was driving with two others when he ran a red light and slammed into a second vehicle.  The boy had suffered significant injuries in three other accidents, but nobody was seriously hurt this time.
