YOUNGSTOWN — After Youngstown police were called to a burglary in progress at a home on Southern Boulevard at 8:10 a.m. Monday, an officer spotted a green Subaru they were told was connected to the burglary call, according to a Youngstown police report.

The officer chased the vehicle, but broke off the chase after several minutes because of the car entering an I-680 exit ramp going the wrong way, according to a Youngstown police report.

The report does not say whether the driver was apprehended, but it says the officer involved in the chase went back to the Southern Boulevard home and spoke with the property manager.

The property manager said that when he arrived at the home, the suspect appeared to be speaking with another unknown person inside the residence. But no person should be in or on the property, the property manager told police.

The property manager said he is renovating the property. No other persons were found inside the home, the report states.

The Vindicator asked Youngstown Police Department and city spokesman Andy Resnick Tuesday if the chase is connected to a damaged Youngstown police cruiser and two injured women a reporter saw laying in a parking lot near the Brilliance School/Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church on Oak Hill Avenue a little before 8:30 a.m. Monday. He did not immediately reply.

A woman also called The Vindicator Tuesday to say that the women in a photo in Tuesday’s Vindicator on Oak Hill Avenue are her grandmother and her aunt, who were driving on Oak Hill Avenue Monday morning when a Youngstown officer crashed into her grandmother’s car from behind while chasing another car.

She said both women suffered a concussion and were taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital. She said they were going to be released from the hospital Tuesday. She said her aunt lost teeth in Monday’s incident.

The woman said her grandmother and aunt had taken her aunt’s son to preschool in the county-owned Oak Hill building Monday morning. They were on Oak Hill when the police cruiser hit her grandmother’s car.

After Resnick was asked about the woman’s remarks about her aunt and grandmother Tuesday afternoon, he said he did not know and would refer the question to the head of the traffic investigative division of the police department.
