SPOKANE, Wash. — Over the weekend, Spokane police officers arrested five teenagers after two separate car thefts.
Officers say the arrests "overwhelmingly" involved Kias and Hyundais. The first incident saw three suspects hit a person riding a lime scooter. Those three teens are charged with second-degree assault, possession of a stolen vehicle, criminal conspiracy and attempting to elude police.
Later that evening, two teens were driving recklessly before crashing into a vacant lot on N. Division Street. The teens attempted to flee the wreck before they were caught by police. Those teens face stolen vehicle charges, driving under the influence and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.
All five suspects were 16-17 years old, according to police.
Police reminded Kia and Hyundai owners to consider contacting their manufacturer to see if their car is susceptible to being stolen.
