Teens Flee Youth Facility In Stolen Staff Car
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) ―
Maryland State Police have captured two teenagers who allegedly escaped from a youth facility after stealing an employee's SUV.
Police said the 15- and 16-year-olds were arrested around 11 a.m. Monday after fleeing the Meadow Mountain Youth Camp in Grantsville. The two are charged as juveniles.
Police say the boys stole a 2008 Pontiac Torrent SUV. Forty-five minutes later, police saw the SUV on I-68 heading toward Allegany County. On I-70, police deployed stop sticks and deflated the SUV's tires. Police said the youths bailed out of the car at a convenience store on Route 56.
Then police said they broke into a home where a Washington County deputy captured one. The other was caught outside the home.
