NORWICH – A car chase with a 17-year-old youth crisscrossed through the greater Norwich area Friday night before the suspect lost control of his vehicle in the City of Norwich and was boxed in by police.

“This incident was brought to a safe end thanks to the cooperation of all the local agencies,” said Detective Sgt. Richard Cobb of the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office.

The case originated at about 10:30 p.m. Friday in the Town of North Norwich when a sheriff’s patrol attempted to pull over a vehicle for speeding on East River Road.
