Stolen Vehicle Arrests

Police officers were dispatched to the 4300 block of W. Andover regarding two males reportedly attempting to enter parked vehicles.

Before officers arrived, the suspects fled the area in a vehicle that had been reported stolen. A short time later, officers located the vehicle in the 5600 block of Stonewood Court. As officers approached, four individuals fled from the vehicle into a wooded area.

Following a brief foot pursuit, officers apprehended two suspects, identified as a 15-year-old male and a 14-year-old male. The remaining two suspects were not located.

Both juveniles were transported to the Peoria Police Department for interviewing purposes and subsequently arrested for Possession of a Stolen Vehicle and Obstructing Police. Evidence was later developed, leading to both suspects also being arrested for Burglary to a Motor Vehicle.

They were transported to the Juvenile Detention Center.
