Massachusetts State Police said a woman stole a Malden police cruiser and led authorities on a police pursuit through Boston and Interstate 93 late Tuesday night.
Shortly before midnight on Tuesday, Malden Police released an alert that one of their police cruisers was stolen, officials said. Police said the cruiser was spotted driving erratically on Zakim Bridge minutes after the alert was issued.
A state police trooper found the stolen cruiser on I-93 South and attempted to stop the driver. Authorities said the female suspect refused to stop and a pursuit ensued.
The driver exited the highway at the Columbia Road exit in Dorchester and kept driving until she reached 1024 Mass. Ave. State police said the driver was stopped at Mass. Avenue and taken into custody. No individuals were injured and no vehicles were damaged during the pursuit, police added.
Malden Police then arrived on the scene after the pursuit to reclaim their cruiser, according to officials.
The suspect was taken to the State Police-Tunnels Barracks for booking. Authorities have not yet released her name.
