A Brooklyn Park homeowner will have to make some unexpected repairs after a stolen vehicle crashed into their garage over the weekend. 

According to Brooklyn Park police, a woman reported her car stolen after she left it to warm up Sunday morning. 

Police on patrol saw the stolen vehicle on the road and attempted a traffic stop. However, the vehicle drove away.

After a short pursuit, the driver and passenger bailed out of the moving car near the 4000 block of 83rd Avenue North.

A garage in Brooklyn Park was damaged after it was struck by a stolen car. The suspects in the vehicle led police on a chase before bailing of the moving car. It continued to roll forward and struck the garage.
