A 15-year old male suspect was arrested early this morning after he led Stockton Police on a short vehicle pursuit.

The suspect’s injuries were non-life threatening and was taken into custody for auto theft, possession of stolen property, traffic charges, failure to yield, a felony arrest warrant, and resisting arrest.
