3 teens crash stolen car into cop car
Three teenagers crashed a stolen vehicle into an unmarked police car on Madison’s East Side and were arrested late Thursday morning (04-09-2020), police say.
Around 9 a.m., the three young men were reportedly involved in a residential burglary on Dolomite Lane, which is near Mid Town Road on the Southwest Side. Shortly afterward, they were driving a stolen car near the intersection of Atwood Avenue and Walter Street when their vehicle struck an officer’s unmarked car, police said in a statement.
Police recovered from the stolen vehicle a handgun and seven key fobs.
12-yr old nabbed as one of 5 robbing cars
The MPD chased down one of several young men who were stealing items from a parked car in the 6200 block of Hammersley Rd. Wednesday afternoon. The car’s owner had just returned from a grocery store, and had left the car unlocked for a couple of minutes.
When she came back outside, all of her car doors were open, and four or five teens were now running from her driveway. Electronics and other items were missing from the car. Many community members called 911, providing officers with information on suspects as the young men ran through backyards.
A 12-year old was taken into custody near Raymond Rd. and Leland Dr. He was cited for being party to the crime of theft. The boy was released to a parent.
Just prior to the Hammersley Rd. incident, the MPD was notified of young men looking into windows of homes in the area of Gladstone Dr. and Tucson Trail. Descriptions were similar to those seen fleeing from the Hammersley Rd. incident.
Teens, stolen cars & gunfire!

Witnesses report at least one gunman firing from a white car at another car. Officers have found a parked, and unoccupied dark colored sedan in the area with apparent bullet damage.
A witness said several teens had run from the sedan. It is not known if this was the car being targeted. Many officers and detectives are on the case with the MPD’s Violent Crime Unit taking the lead. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Madison Area Crime Stoppers at (608) 266-6014.
