A string of vehicle break-ins in Radcliff over the weekend led to the arrest of three juveniles.
The Radcliff Police Department says eight vehicle break-ins were reported in the city from late Saturday night to early Sunday morning, with three of the vehicles being stolen along with a vehicle that had been reported stolen out of Jefferson County.
Multiple officers were conducting multiple overlapping investigations due to the high number of crimes reported. Through these investigations officers eventually located one of the vehicles in question, in which officers discovered three juveniles: two 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old.
The juveniles attempted to flee from police, initially in the vehicle and then on foot, before being caught and taken into custody. The RPD says evidence in the car connected the juveniles to the other break-ins and thefts.
The three juveniles face multiple charges including Engaging in Organized Crime, Theft, and Fleeing and Evading Police. More charges are likely as the investigation is ongoing. Anybody with possible information should contact the Radcliff Police Department at 270-351-4477, or leave an anonymous tip at 270-351-TIPS.
Captain Willie Wells with the RPD reminds residents to always take precautions such as securing your vehicle, never leaving valuables in your vehicle, and parking in a well-lit area.
