TUKWILA, Wash. (AP) — Police say a man arrested after a chase and crash early Thursday in Tukwila is a prolific car thief.

KIRO-TV reports a patrol officer spotted a stolen pickup truck in Kent about 1:30 a.m. and chased it to Tukwila where it crashed into a retaining wall.

The driver is a man in his 20s who, police say, has been taking two-to-five vehicles a week in the area south of Seattle. They say he uses the stolen cars for transportation and sells property he finds inside.
