MORAINE — New body camera footage obtained by News Center 7 Monday shows Moraine and Kettering police surrounding a car wash on West Dorothy Lane while a stolen vehicle got a car wash.
Moraine police spotted the stolen vehicle at the Flying Ace Car Wash Friday and when officers attempted to stop it after coming out of the car wash, the driver rammed a police cruiser, Moraine police said.
Officers were at the car wash at 1901 W. Dorothy Lane around 10:15 a.m. when the yellow and black Dodge Challenger stolen out of the Toledo area was spotted, said Sgt. Andy Parish with Moraine Police.

Moraine police got some help from Kettering police to attempt to stop the vehicle after it exited the car wash, but the Challenger rammed the Kettering cruiser, jumped the curb and hit a sign and valve before fleeing the car wash, Parish said.
A short high-speed chase started as officers chased the Challenger west on Dorothy Lane and onto Springboro Pike, where Moraine police terminated the chase prior to the vehicle getting onto I-75 due to unsafe speeds, Parish said.
No officers were injured during the incident and the car wash had some minor property damage, but was able to stay open.
