PEORIA, Ill. – Two teenage boys were arrested for allegedly stealing a vehicle in Peoria late Tuesday night.
Peoria Police were called to the area of W. Andover Drive and N. Frostwood Parkway around 11:39 p.m., on reports of two males trying to break into some parked cars.
Before officers arrived, the suspects left in a vehicle that was reported stolen. A short time later, the vehicle was found on N. Stonewood Court. As officers approached, four people ran away into the woods.
Police Spokesperson Semone Roth says two boys, 14 and 15-year-old, were taken into custody after a short chase for possession of a stolen vehicle, obstructing police and burglary of a motor vehicle.
Both teens were taken to the Peoria County Juvenile Detention Center after their arrests.
The two other suspects were not located.
