(KSL News) -- Some father-son bonding stopped a car theft today.
Police say a West Valley man was warming up his car when someone went into his garage and stole it. When the man found out, he called his son to help him look for it.
The son and his wife were on their way over when they saw the suspect driving his dad's car and started chasing him.
Son: "I estimate he was going at least 100 miles an hour plus. I was talking to police on the phone. I knew where I was."
The suspect, 19-year-old Joseph House, plowed over a tree, crashed through the fence, and went into a golf course. Cops say he jumped into a canal to hide. They found him shivering in his wet clothes.
