On November 5, 2023, at approximately 4:40 PM, unit 1386 was parked at Piney Ridge located at 4253 N. Crossover Road after transporting three juvenile runaways back to the facility (Incident 2023-74373).
While officers spoke with staff to create a plan for the three juveniles to be removed from the patrol unit and into the facility without running away, two of them began bending the back metal partition in the patrol unit. On the in car Axon Video, both subjects can be seen grabbing the top of the metal partition, and bending it downward to gain access to the rear storage area of the patrol unit. Once they had bent the partition down, both subjects grabbed loaded magazines from a carrier vest and concealed them in their pants. As staff and officers were getting the subjects out of the vehicle, staff noticed the bulge in their pants and searched them discovering the magazines. All magazines were returned and no other items were located missing or on the subjects.
Citation Issued to both juveniles for Criminal Mischief 1st Degree (Felony).
