Police arrested a woman who they said stole a Postal Service truck Friday night in Northwest D.C. It happened before 6:45 p.m. on Quebec Place near Warder Street in the Petworth neighborhood. D.C. police said a postal worker lost their keys, and the woman found them. On learning that it was for a mail truck, she took the vehicle. She only drove a few blocks before police caught up on Ninth Street and Kansas Avenue. Twitter user Dan Moriarty captured part of the chase before the woman voluntarily pulled over.
