Despite a flat tire, the suspect was driving at over 100 km/h in the streets of Val-de-Marne and then Essonne. She was arrested after an accident.
A chase lasting several dozen minutes. A 14-year-old girl driving a vehicle refused to comply on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, in Thiais (Val-de-Marne), causing a chase across several departments, it has been learned The Figaro from a police source this Thursday, September 5.
Around 2:15 in the morning, a municipal police patrol spotted a car driving with all its lights off in Thiais. At the wheel was a female driver with a very youthful face. The patrol then decided to carry out a check. But they barely had time to approach the window when the vehicle took off at full speed and tried to flee the scene.
More than 100 km/h
A chase then begins between the driver and the municipal police, who will be quickly joined by national agents. The latter follow the suspect in the municipalities of Orly, Athis-Mons and Savigny-sur-Orge, in Essonne. As the minutes go by, the police force is reinforced, with the arrival of law enforcement officers from Essonne, motorcyclists from Val-de-Marne and even the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC). Despite the blaring sirens and a flat tire along the way, the teenager still refuses to stop, driving at up to 100 km/h in the streets.
It was in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, in Essonne, about twenty kilometers from Thiais, that the chase ended, after 25 minutes of tracking: the teenager hit a concrete bollard. The accident then triggered the airbag and the accused, dazed, was unable to get out of her vehicle to flee again.
The arrested teenager, who revealed that she was 14 years old, is not known to the justice system. She is said to have borrowed her mother’s car before making this crazy swerve. An investigation has been opened and entrusted to the police station in Haÿ-les-Roses, where the young woman is from.
