Teenagers accused of driving stolen Dodge Challengers fled police at speeds exceeding 100 mph, according to a report by Road & Track.

Police quickly discontinued the high-speed pursuit, avoiding a prolonged chase on public roads. Officers instead relied on communication between units to follow developments after the cars left the immediate area.

The suspects later returned and were arrested, police said. The case underlines a central policing calculation during vehicle pursuits: maintaining public safety can take priority over attempting an immediate stop at dangerous speeds.

For drivers in Lithuania and elsewhere, the episode is a reminder that evasive driving sharply raises the risk for occupants, other road users and pedestrians. A police stop should never become a high-speed confrontation on public roads.
