QUINCY - A suspected burglar led police on a chase in Wollaston on Monday before crashing into a parked car, sending a mother and daughter to the hospital with minor injuries, the police said.
Officer David Levine was on patrol just before 3 p.m. when he spotted James Miller, a 38-year-old wanted in connection with several store break-ins, driving a blue sport utility vehicle. Miller sped away when the officer tried to pull him over, Detective Lt. Jeffrey Burrell said.
The chase ended quickly when Miller crashed into a parked car, sending the SUV careening through a fence and into a home at the corner of Beach and Marlboro streets, police and neighbors said.
‘‘I heard the crash up at the corner, looked out the window, and saw some man running down the street with the police chasing him. He ran down my side yard and the police arrested him behind my home,’’ Dorothy O’Brien of Marlboro Street said.
Miller, whose last known address was on Elm Street in Quincy, faces multiple charges related to the car chase and to several commercial break-ins in the past three months, Burrell said. He was scheduled to be arraigned today in Quincy District Court.
John Zerigian, who lives a few doors away from where the crash occurred, said police blocked off the street and two ambulances were called to the scene. Miller’s face was bleeding when police led him to the street and handcuffed him, Zerigian said.
‘‘I think they caught him just at the fence,’’ he said.
Another neighbor, Kathleen Burgess, said Miller’s SUV crashed through the fence of a neighbor’s home, ripped up the lawn and hit the house. She said she saw another damaged car parked on the street.
‘‘I heard a police officer say, ‘You think you’re so tough running ladies off the road,’’’ Burgess said.
A woman and her daughter were treated for minor injuries at Quincy Medical Center, Burrell said. Their names were not released.
