Salina Ut, – Salina City Officers were dispatched on Sunday at approximately 11:22 AM to a vehicle crash at K&K Auto where one vehicle had ran into another vehicle parked in the parking lot. It was reported that the subjects exited the vehicle, removed personal items, and then began walking south towards the freeway. Officers were then advised that several juvenile subjects were currently at the Loves Truck Stop asking other motorists for a ride.

Salina Officers were then joined by officers from the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, Richfield City Police, Utah Highway Patrol, and DWR where they located the juveniles in the rear parking lot. The five juveniles jumped the fence and attempted to evade the officers but all five were quickly captured and taken into custody.

Subsequent investigation revealed that the car had been stolen out of Colorado. Some misinformation from the juveniles indicated the possibility of there being two armed male subjects still at large and a Code Red Alert was sent out to all Salina Area residents. Further investigation and video surveillance revealed that there were only the five original juveniles involved in the incident and the Code Red Alert was cancelled.

The five juveniles, three males and two females, were all booked into the Juvenile Detention Center on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle, failure to stop at the command of a police officer, leaving the scene of an accident, and possession of marijuana.
