BLOOMINGDALE, Ill. — A DuPage County teen accused of crashing a stolen car while leading police on a high-speed chase in the northwest suburbs on Tuesday is now facing felony charges.

The suspect, a 14-year-old Bloomingdale resident who has not been identified due to his age, has been charged with one felony count of possession of a stolen motor vehicle and one felony count of aggravated fleeing and eluding a police officer, DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin announced Wednesday.

According to Berlin, the teen's charges stem from a high-speed chase that allegedly unfolded in the northwest suburbs late Tuesday night.

Prosecutors said it all began around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday when Bloomingdale police spotted the teen allegedly driving in a Hyundai Elantra that had been reported stolen.
