A 16-year-old suburban boy faces a dozen charges from a Monday night vehicle pursuit in the south end of the city, Lancaster police said.

The boy, who lives in East Lampeter Township, drove a stolen Jeep through five stop signs as he tried to elude police on South Christian Street, Detective Heather Hatfield said.

Officer Andrew Mease spotted the Jeep shortly before 8 p.m. and was aware the vehicle was stolen. The 16-year-old was behind the wheel, and he had two Lancaster sisters, ages 15 and 17, as passengers, police said.

The boy failed to stop for Mease and sped away. He went through five stop signs on South Christian Street before crashing the vehicle into the wall of a house in the area of South Christian and Juniata streets, police said.

All three occupants jumped out of the vehicle and started running. The 16-year-old climbed over a fence in the 400 block of Juniata Street, scampered onto a roof, and ran east on Strawberry Street through the parking lot of the Riverside Club, police said.

The boy tried to kick two Lancaster police officers who ran him down in a wooded area near the Conestoga River, police said.

The Jeep had been stolen from the rear of a West Orange Street home, police said. The boy allegedly removed the ignition and used a screwdriver to start up the vehicle.

Hatfield charged the boy with theft, receiving stolen property, fleeing-attempting to elude police, resisting arrest, driving under suspension, five stop-sign violations, reckless driving and criminal trespass. He was taken to the Lancaster County Youth Detention Center after processing.

The two sisters were released with no charges filed against them. The 16-year-old boy reportedly told them the Jeep had been loaned to him.

In other incidents:

• Lititz police early today arrested two teenage girls on drinking charges after stopping their car, which was heading the wrong way on East Orange Street in the borough, Officer Christopher Kelley said.

A 16-year-old Lititz girl who was driving the car had a blood-alcohol reading of 0.067 percent. She was stopped at 1:18 a.m. and is being charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants, underage drinking, a one-way violation, and a junior operator’s license violation, Kelley said.

A 17-year-old Manheim girl was a passenger. She is being charged with underage drinking and providing false identification, Kelley said.

• A traffic stop by Lancaster state police led to the arrest of two men who allegedly cut down metal support cables for electrical poles in Sadsbury Township.

A report of a theft-in-progress sent troopers to the first block of Lower Valley Road, southwest of Christiana, at about 2:40 p.m. Monday.

A resident told Trooper Thomas D. Swiech that he saw an older-model Ford truck travel across a field to an adjoining railroad bed. Two men got out of the truck and cut support cables for electrical poles that bordered the railroad bed. They put the cables into the truck and left the area, the resident said.

Police got a description of the truck and stopped the vehicle at 3:12 p.m. Inside the bed of the truck were lengths of metal cable that resembled the ones cut from the poles, Swiech said.

Joshua David Feathers, 24, Christiana, and William Brian Miller, 38, Coatesville, were in the truck. Both were arrested for theft, criminal mischief, and trespass, Swiech said.
