LYNN— Nia Owens, 19, of Lynn and a 17-year-old Lynn female were arrested for receiving a stolen vehicle early Wednesday morning.
Around midnight Wednesday morning, a State Trooper patrolling Route 107 South in Revere observed a black 2017 Honda Accord that had been reported stolen in Taunton on Tuesday.
The trooper monitored the stolen vehicle as it entered Brown Circle rotary in Revere and exited onto Route 60 East toward Route 1A and East Boston as backup units began responding to the area.
When the trooper tried to stop the Accord on Route 60 East in Revere, the driver refused to stop and Troop A Headquarters authorized pursuit and assumed command and control.
The suspect’s vehicle continued onto Route 1A South and passed the Logan Airport ramps. In the area of the Ted Williams Tunnel entrance, the fleeing Accord rear-ended a 2023 Subaru Outback station wagon.
Troopers converged on the suspect vehicle and arrested all five of its occupants — Alton Lopes, 20, of Brockton, Jaylani Cole, 18, of Roxbury, Syncere Lindsay, 18, of Brockton, Owens and the juvenile —as they tried to leave the car.
State Troopers said that all five occupants tried to escape through the back seat. All were taken into custody and charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle.
Troopers said they believe Lopes was driving the stolen vehicle. He was additionally charged with failure to stop for police, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, operating after license suspension, and a marked lanes violation.
Following their booking at the State Police Revere Barracks, the juvenile prisoner was transferred to DYS custody. The other four were held pending their expected arraignment in Chelsea District Court Wednesday.
