An Atlantic City teen faces charges for traffic offenses

A 17-year-old Atlantic City girl has been charged in two separate incidents involving cars last month on the island. The Press of Atlantic City say officers saw a vehicle run a stop sign at Amherst Avenue and Harbor Beach Boulevard back on June 15th. The driver refused to pull over and sped off and police did not initiate a pursuit. Two weeks later an officer saw a vehicle reported stolen and it was determined that the subject driving the stolen vehicle was the same subject driving the vehicle from the earlier incident. The girl surrendered to police with her parent Sunday and was charged with two counts of eluding police and one count of receiving stolen property. She also was issued several motor vehicle summonses, including reckless driving and being an unlicensed driver.
