PAWTUCKET — A 15-year-old male who abandoned the stolen car he was driving after a pursuit by Pawtucket Police was apprehended at a house in Central Falls on Wednesday evening, police said.

According to Pawtucket Police Detectives Lt.

Mullen said that the driver traveled down Rand Street to Pine Street and continued to take turns on a series of streets.  He continued on Tiffany Street and then to Park Street, which is a dead end. At the end of Park Street, the three youths abandoned the car and fled in the direction of Higginson Avenue.
