Police were able to stop and arrest them without a chase.
If there's one lesson four Lawrence teens probably learned this week -- other than not to steal a car -- it's not to crank up the radio in a stolen car in the middle of the night. At about 2:40 a.m. Sunday, North Andover Police Officer Jason Wedge noticed a red Mitsubishi driving along Osgood Street with loud music blaring. He ran a plate check and saw that the car was reported by Lawrence Police as stolen. Wedge called in the situation and officers William Brush, Joseph Kamal and Eric Sewade jumped into stealth mode to corner the vehicle. When the car took a right onto Foulds Terrace, the police put on their lights and sirens and the suspects had nowhere to go. "It was great teamwork on part of the shift," Lt. Charles Gray said.
