Four Central Florida juveniles – ages 13, 15, 15, and 16 – were arrested for stealing a vehicle.
Last week, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Auto Theft Squad identified a stolen vehicle traveling eastbound on Webb Road in Tampa.
Detectives observed the vehicle parking at The Park at Lake Como Apartment Complex and attempted to initiate a traffic stop when four individuals fled on foot. After a foot pursuit, all four suspects were apprehended and face the following charges:
15-year-old Amari Cleon Adams faces charges of Burglary of an Unoccupied Conveyance and Resisting Officer without Violence.
13-year-old Jalijha Herbert Brooks faces charges of Burglary of an Unoccupied Conveyance and Resisting Officer without Violence.
16-year-old Kingston Emmanuel Johnson faces charges of Burglary of an Unoccupied Conveyance, Resisting Officer without Violence, and Grand Theft Motor Vehicle.
15-year-old Keilen Joshua Williams faces charges of Armed Burglary of Conveyance, Resisting Officer without Violence, Carrying Concealed Firearm, and Minor in Possession of a Firearm (2nd Offense).
“Our detectives acted swiftly ensuring that these suspects were arrested before they could pose any further threat to our community,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister. “We will not tolerate criminal behavior in our neighborhoods. No matter how fast you run, teamHCSO will bring suspects to justice.”
This is an active investigation, according to local law enforcement.
