Three juveniles are facing auto theft charges in connection with two stolen vehicles.
Henderson Police officers were contacted about the stolen vehicles around 6:00am on December 18th. Officers spotted one of the vehicles near St. Louis Cemetery. The occupants parked the vehicle and ran before officers were able to initiate a car stop.
Two of the occupants were found hiding in a shed in the 1400 block of S. Green St. a short time later. The third occupant was located at a relatives house a few hours later. One of the occupants was taken to the hospital for medical evaluation.
While being escorted into the building, the suspect attempted to escape custody by running into the near-by neighborhood. He was caught after a short chase.
During the investigation, officers learned where the second stolen vehicle had been abandoned. Both vehicles were returned to their owners.
All three suspects were placed in a secure juvenile facility.
