A runaway juvenile driving his parents' car led police on a chase that reached speeds of 100 mph through usually quiet downtown streets.

The pursuit continued north on U.S. 64/264 to Airport Road.
The youth then turned onto Sunnyside Road and abandoned the vehicle before fleeing into the woods.
The youth was believed to be at large Tuesday afternoon, a Manteo Police spokesperson said.
No one was hurt in the incident, and no charges have been filed.
The case has been turned over to juvenile authorities for further investigation.
