Miami County Sheriff’s Deputies have arrested two juvenile on gun theft charges. Saturday night, May 18th, just before 10:00, deputies were called to 255th Street and Harmony Road for two suspicious vehicles sitting in the roadway without their lights on. The vehicles were occupied. While on the way to the call a deputy observed two vehicles on Old KC Road traveling without any lights and attempted to stop the vehicles. Both vehicles fled and the deputy initiated a brief pursuit. A few minutes later a caller reported a vehicle on 169 highway at 271st had crashed.
One of the fleeing vehicles had crashed on 271st, east of Old KC Road into a creek and the second vehicle was the wreck on 169 Highway where the vehicle drove up the embankment and got stuck. All occupants fled from the vehicles and a large perimeter was set up. K9’s were used to do tracks and subsequently found multiple firearms and other evidence. A follow up of a gun store at 255th Street and Harmony Road found it had been broken into and multiple firearms stolen.
Two juveniles have been taken into custody related to this incident and the investigation continues.
