The whole incident started in Methuen at 1:50 am on Sunday, when Methuen police officer Neil Quinlan noticed a green 1997 Honda Accord on Pelham Street heading east toward Broadway.
According to news reports, Quinlan checked the car's license plate number and after finding out that it was stolen, he tried to make the driver pull over. Instead, the driver sped away down Broadway going toward Lawrence.
Reportedly, the stolen car was going at 70-80 mph.
It tried to slow down at the intersection with Bradford Street, and make a left onto the one-way street (in the wrong direction).
The attempt failed as the car struck a parked vehicle and came to a halt.
At that moment, the driver and two passengers ran away from the car.
One person remained in the vehicle, Edgar Cuevas, 17 of Methuen, and was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property.
Police said he was not cooperating and has not been forthcoming with details about his accomplices.
The incident remains under police investigation.
