Teens steal car from junkyard, lead police chase

NEW IBERIA, La. - Louisiana State Police say three teenage brothers broke into a junkyard next door to their house, stole a car, led a police chase, and were chased down on foot after the 1993 Ford Taurus ran into a ditch.

State police spokesman David Anderson says 17-year-old Lynn J. Champagne was released on $25,000 bond after being booked with simple burglary and contributing to the delinquency of juveniles. The juveniles are his 16- and 14-year-old brothers. Anderson says they were given summonses for juvenile court after the chase early Monday.

Anderson says the chase on Louisiana 329 and on parish roads hit speeds above 80 mph.
