Yesterday, a Special Investigations Unit deputy spotted two suspicious vehicles parked next to each other in an apartment complex in the 11000 block of Waller Rd E in the Parkland area. The vehicles, both Kias, were occupied by what appeared to be juveniles. The deputy ran a records check on the license plates and discovered that both vehicles were stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deputy watched the cars and the occupants as he waited for backup deputies to arrive. He saw a suspect load a black trash bag into a third vehicle, which had previously been unoccupied. The vehicle, a Hyundai, left for a few minutes and then came back. That vehicle was listed as stolen as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patrol deputies were just arriving at the complex when two of the stolen vehicles began driving towards the exit. A deputy deployed stop sticks in front of one of the cars, but the driver swerved to avoid them. That car sped away recklessly and, since vehicle theft is not a pursuable offense, deputies could not chase after it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 18-year-old female driver of the second vehicle put the car in reverse and attempted to quickly back away from patrol cars. Then she put the vehicle in park and surrendered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deputies went back to the original scene and located the 15-year-old female driver of the third vehicle. She was taken into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The adult suspect was booked into jail for possession of a stolen vehicle. The juvenile was released to a guardian and charges were forwarded to the prosecutor\u2019s office for review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A deputy found a kitten in one of the vehicles. Since it belonged to one of the occupants (not an arrestee), the deputy had to return it to her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
