PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Portland Police say an 11-year-old boy has been arrested after he crashed a stolen vehicle into other cars in north Portland.

Officers responded Wednesday morning to reports that a possible drunk driver hit two parked cars and drove from the scene.

Police found the stolen vehicle about a mile from the crash scene. They say the driver and passengers ran and hid in the neighborhood before they were found and taken into custody.

No one was hurt in the crashes.

Officers later determined that the 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old male passenger were reported runaways. Both were lodged in juvenile detention center for unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
