East Cleveland police arrested a 16-year-old after he was spotted driving a stolen car, tried to flee from officers and then crashed the car and ran off, only to be caught a short time later after leaving footprints in the snow that led police right to him.
It happened Tuesday just before 1:30 a.m. in the 16000 block of Euclid Avenue.
"After a short pursuit, the young driver did not play enough Grand Theft Auto to get his driving skills together, as he crashed into a bank of snow very quickly," police said in a Facebook post."He did not know that you tend to leave 'footprints' after freshly running through the snow. I know what you are thinking; he was just a good person, on his way in his fresh carjacked, to go help his grandmother out by shoveling her drive," police said in the Facebook post.
