PEABODY, Mass. — A man is facing charges after he allegedly led police on a chase using a stolen vehicle.

According to police, officers received a Flock Camera alert that a stolen motor vehicle was traveling on Lynn Street toward Washington Street.

An officer observed the vehicle and attempted to initiate a stop; however, the driver turned around and fled at high speed.

The officer began following the vehicle but quickly ended the pursuit.

Shortly afterward, the stolen vehicle collided with two other vehicles, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries.

The incident also caused damage to the property.

Timothy Crane, 32, of Danvers, was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property, failure to stop for police, operating to endanger and leaving the scene of an accident with personal injury.

The incident remains under investigation.
