A woman who stole a truck with a cherry picker led police officers on a high speed chase through North Seattle Tuesday night.
The key was in the truck parked on 1st Avenue NE and NE Northgate Way. The woman, in her 20’s, just jumped in and drove off.
“Several calls came into 911 reporting that the truck was seen driving erratically around North Seattle,” says officer Renee Witt.
A county sheriff’s deputy spotted the truck heading north on Aurora and chased it to Shoreline.
The woman eventually turned around and headed back to Seattle where she crashed the truck into a light pole in a Home Depot parking lot.
The woman faces potential charges of Auto Theft, Felony Eluding, Property Damage, and Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and/or Drugs.
