(KNSI) – Three people were arrested early Friday morning as they were caught in the act while stealing a vehicle in north St. Cloud.
Officials say a person called it in just after 1:30 and was able to give a very detailed description of the suspects, along with the Kia Soul they had broken into. Officers arrived just as the group was fleeing the area in the stolen car. A brief chase ensued before the suspects crashed into the garage of a home on the 1100 block of 27th Avenue North. The 17-year-old driver was taken to CentraCare St. Cloud Hospital for minor injuries before being booked. An 18-year-old from St. Cloud and a 16-year-old from Waite Park were also arrested.
The St. Cloud Police Department says Friday’s incident was part of an increasing trend in the area. They are asking for the community’s help in getting the problem under control, describing vehicle thefts as a crime with a meaningful impact that leaves people with a reduced sense of safety.
