The investigation was turned over to detectives and crime scene personnel. Shortly into the investigation, one of the vehicles was recovered, abandoned, in the south part of town, close to Loop 151. Moments later, two more vehicles were located on Terry St., just outside of the city limits. As investigators continued their follow-up investigation, they were led to the 1500 block of N.

During this time period, the fourth vehicle was located in the 1100 block of Dan Haskins Way.
At this time, two 16 year old black male juveniles and one 16 year old white male juvenile have been arrested and charged with four counts of Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle and Burglary of a Building.
