Suspect rams several vehicles in Boston with stolen car, police say

Boston police are searching for a suspect who hit more than a dozen vehicles with a stolen car. According to police, a car was reported stolen downtown on Monday and tracked to the Dorchester neighborhood. The car’s owner, Dennis Harrington, said he was at a construction site when his vehicle was stolen. “I was working on a building in a truck doing rock work and someone says, ‘Hey, there’s a car like yours just drove by.’ I look over and think, ‘Oh, that’s my car,'” Harrington said. “There’s no car like that in America. This thing is one of a kind.” While officers were searching for the vehicle, they received a 911 call shortly after 2:55 p.m. that a car had collided with 15 to 20 vehicles in the area of ​​392 Center St. Luan Dia said his brand new Lexus sedan was among the vehicles struck by the stolen car. The Lexus has severe damage to the front bumper and driver’s side fender, and he said the security camera at a neighbor’s house captured the moment of the collision.” Basically, he somehow stalled the engine and then hit the accelerator, causing the rear wheels to spin and preventing him from turning in time. And my car was apparently in the way,” Dia said. The 911 caller also reported that the driver who struck those vehicles fled on foot. Boston police said officers called to the Center Street area found the car involved in the hit-and-run crash at 12 Leslie Street and confirmed that car was the one stolen downtown. The front of Harrington’s car, a Buick Grand National, was heavily damaged. Its value, he said, is over $200,000. “It was in the shop last year and got a brand new engine, everything was rebuilt,” Harrington said. Officers are still looking for the suspect, and no arrests have been made in connection with the case.
