Police taking action following reckless driving incidents involving teens in stolen cars

In Rochester, New York, a series of incidents involving reckless driving by teens in stolen cars has prompted police action. Over the past 24 hours, five teenagers have been arrested following dangerous driving activities, including a chase that ended with three young suspects aged between 13 and 16 in custody. These events occurred near Franklin High School, where vehicles were driven recklessly on the school grounds shortly after students were dismissed, endangering several of them. In response to these incidents, Rochester Police have increased security measures around the school, including the installation of bollards and chains and an enhanced police presence at dismissal times. Additionally, an armed robbery involving two stolen Kias led to another police pursuit that resulted in the arrest of four youths. The community is being called upon to cooperate and support ongoing safety measures to prevent further such dangerous activities.
