Five people, three juveniles and two adults, were taken into custody early Monday morning, Feb. 19 following a police pursuit by Greenfield police involving a stolen vehicle. The pursuit ended after the vehicle crashed into a home on Milwaukee’s south side. According to authorities, just after 4:30 a.m., a witness called police to report theft from vehicles in the area of 34th and Francis. When officers arrived on the scene, the suspects ran to a waiting vehicle — and the pursuit was underway. A PIT maneuver was initiated near 13th St. and Ohio Ave. After several attempts by officers, one finally connected. “Had the driver given up at that point, the vehicle would have come to rest. Instead, we believe she accelerated away and performed some steering maneuvers which caused her to crash into a house,†said Sgt. Robert Austin of the Greenfield Police Department. The car landed on the front steps of a home. The collision caused broken windows, cracked front steps and destroyed the garden at the home. The homeowner, her husband and her 1-month-old child were inside at the time of the wreck. For safety reasons, she did not wish to be identified.
“Woke up with the baby, walked out of the room, heard those sirens, and heard the big bang. I got really scared,†the homeowner said. Not long after, police arrested the car’s occupants. Their ages range from 15 to 18 years old. Police also said the vehicle involved in the pursuit was stolen and also had plates from another vehicle on it. The homeowner told that the shooting happened outside of her home a few months ago. For her, this was the last straw. “Hopefully patch everything up and try to see if I can sell the house. I’m ready to go somewhere else safer,†the homeowner said. Nobody inside was hurt. Police said five people were taken into custody. Three were taken to the hospital. Three of the five suspects apparently had run-ins with police before — both cases involving stolen cars.

Jeez watching this has literally got me feeling lightheaded. Those cars are hella fast
5 people In fact, the car had no speed, it only went fast after a while
They should have just stood in front of the car and pepper sprayed the mirror, that would have done it
RIP shrubbery
Imagine of suspects had sirens to get away faster
damn, I think that's the softest crash I've seen ever, not even sure there is a single scratch on that car
Good driving by the officer – pity the car didn't roll which would have taught them a better lesson.
Awful pit. Nearly lost control himself.
Why do it in residential area tho
Like driving in snow, she turned into the slide, and almost recovered. If it weren't for those meddling cops!
why out of every car you could have stolen.
you chose a pontiac vibe
Good news folks, WE FOUND YOUR CAR!
Bad news, we kinda made him wreck it..
Meh, he'll buy you guys a new one anyways.
Having a car insurance ad on video about a stolen vehicle is fugging hilarious
He’s turning left around the world…
We lived less than a mile from this address back in 1973. How far down this neighborhood has gotten. Used to be nice middle class area with block parties. Now only shootouts. Why we left Milwaukee and eventually left WI altogether. We have never had a shoot out in our neighborhood yet in Tucson. Only a gang shooting of a stolen car they had doused with gas before shooting it to destroy evidence. That happened 5 years ago about 100 feet from our home. Thank God no one was in the car at the time. Gangs are everywhere.
Well that was easy, great work guys.
There should be laws around using a pit manouver. In that case, the car could have gone into the masterbedroom of a sleeping couple or even worse, a small bedroom. The officer does not have enough understanding of physics that he can make that call to know where the car will lay. America…make changes!!!
beautiful pit avoided all the oncoming vehicles and poles
But…but, officer I used my turn signals!
Lol. I had the same '03-'04 Vibe. Peppy little cars. But if you're stupid enough to run from the police, don't do it in a Vibe.
That last pit attempt was bordering on greedy, but it was sick! Nice recovery with avoiding the light-post incoming, though.
"get your hands up! get your hands up!" When being a cop is a lot like being a club DJ.
