A 17-year-old male was arrested early Sunday morning after attempting to flee police responding to reports of reckless driving in a retail parking lot.

Secaucus police officers responded around 4:34 a.m. Sunday to the Kohl's parking lot at 3 Millcreek Drive following reports of a group of vehicles driving recklessly.

When officers attempted to initiate a motor vehicle stop on one of the involved vehicles, the driver fled in an attempt to elude police, according to authorities.

Officers subsequently stopped the vehicle and took the driver, a 17-year-old male from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, into custody.

The juvenile was charged with eluding. He was issued a juvenile complaint summons and released from police custody.
