\nTwo teens are being charged after police say they stole a handgun and a car in Owensboro.<\/p>\n
Sunday shortly after 1 a.m., Owensboro Police officers spotted two boys dressed in all black clothing in a hotel parking lot on Salem Drive.<\/p>\n
Police say the boys ran from officers, forcing them to set up a perimeter around the area.<\/p>\n
According to a news release, one of the boys was taken into custody on Marlboro Drive and was found with window punch and gloves.<\/p>\n
The other boy was found in a field not too far from the hotel. Officers say a backpack carrying an empty handgun holster and fully loaded magazine were recovered nearby.<\/p>\n
Police confirm they also found a stolen vehicle in a parking lot on Marlboro Drive, which was the same area they found the first suspect.<\/p>\n
That vehicle had a broken widow and handgun inside. Officers say they spoke with the owner who reported his vehicle was stolen earlier that evening with a handgun, holster and magazines inside.<\/p>\n
The boys, aged 15 and 16-years-old, were taken to the Warren County Regional Juvenile Detention Center and charged with Theft of a Firearm; Possession of a Handgun by a Minor 2nd or Greater Offense; Theft of Auto $1,000 less than $10,000; Fleeing or Evading Police 2nd Degree (On Foot); Possession of Burglary Tools; Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree and Criminal Trespassing 3rd Degree.<\/p>\n
Police say the teenagers have both been previously charged with similar charges.
