Westminster police look for men who stole SUV, injured woman
Westminster police Wednesday night were seeking four men who stole a sport utility vehicle and critically injured a female bystander after the vehicle smashed into a power pole.
The woman was injured by debris that apparently flew off the Lexus after it rammed into a pole on Bolsa Avenue near Beach Boulevard on Tuesday night, the Westminster Police Department said.
"It was a high rate of speed and there were no skid marks," Sgt. Cameron Knauerhaze told The Times.
The woman was in stable condition Wednesday night with head injuries and a broken arm. She was waiting at a bus stop when she was injured.
The SUV was reported stolen Sunday from a nearby home in the 7800 block 10th Street. The men are suspected of spotting the vehicle during a "cat burglary" and returning to the home to steal it, Knauerhaze said.
