Marietta Police had a busy day Wednesday, after a 15 year old boy led them on a car chase down Pike Street.

The details are slow to come in, but we do know that the car he was driving was stolen.

Authorities say the 15 year old boy stole a truck and led police down Pike Street.

While police were attempting to pull the boy over, his truck hit two or more vehicles.

The chase ended when he rolled his truck multiple times near the entrance of the Marietta Walmart.

"There was a stolen vehicle out of Beverly, and the vehicle was possibly occupied by a 15 year old runaway. The juvenile was presumably going to come to Walmart and get rid of the vehicle, and pick up another vehicle or get another ride by some means," says Patrolman Ryan Huffman, Marietta City Police.

No injuries were reported.

The juvenile is in violation of an exsisting probation order and in addition, is now facing charges of vehicle theft, and fleeing and alluding a police officer.
