LEON COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - The Leon County Sheriff's Office has arrested two 18-year-olds and two teenage minors for stealing multiple vehicles from a local auto dealership.
Deputies say they arrested De'trevion House, 18, De'Morris Smith, 18, a 16-year-old male and a 15-year-old male for their involvement in an auto theft ring.
Earlier this week, four vehicles were stolen from Ultimate Image Auto Inc. on Crawfordville Highway.
"Well you know it's hard, you never, I mean, we have alarm systems, we have camera systems, we have everything in place now," said Rob Wyche, Owner of Ultimate Image Auto Inc. "But it's just, when you've got somebody that's just going to bust your windows out in the front of the dealership you know and go inside and take the cars you know we do everything we can to stop it."
On Thursday, detectives used the OnStar service to find one of the vehicles. It was found at Palms West Apartments on West Pensacola Street.
When they arrived to the complex, deputies found all four vehicles as well as the suspects. The suspects tried to leave in another vehicle when deputies arrived, but were soon captured.
LCSO says the teens are suspected in numerous local burglaries and grand theft cases.
House, Smith, and the 16-year-old have been charged with two counts of burglary, four counts of grand theft of a motor vehicle, and one count of grand theft. Smith was additionally charged with violation of probation.
The 15-year-old has been charged with trespassing and violation of probation.
WTXL ABC 27 has chosen not to identify two of the suspects due to their age.
