Five Teenagers In Custody, Stolen Car Recovered (Photo) (Photo) - 03/25/26

Five teenagers are safely in custody and several are facing charges after stealing a car and running from police.

 

On March 25, 2026, at 1:41 AM, a graveyard patrol officer found an unoccupied stolen car at a gas station in the 11800 block of SW Pacific Highway. Police began searching the area for a suspect when they found a group of four teenagers at a shopping center nearby, who then ran from officers.

 

An officer quickly found two of the teenagers, and one was identified as a missing runaway from a rehabilitation home in Tigard and had two juvenile warrants. Unfortunately, the other teenager managed to escape from the officer.

 

As this was happening, officers began a drone and K-9 search, which led them to find another one of the teenagers on the roof of a business in the 8800 block of SW Center Street. He refused commands from officers to come down, so Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue firefighters assisted officers by giving them a lift to the roof. The teen was taken into custody and identified as another missing runaway from the same rehabilitation home who also had a warrant.

 

While officers continued to search for the two outstanding teenagers, the owner of the stolen car reported seeing two teens back at the Tigard Plaza. Police responded quickly and two more teenagers were detained and identified as missing runaways from the same rehabilitation home.

 

With four teenagers in custody, officers learned the group had been staying at an abandoned home nearby. An officer went to the home and found the teenager who had escaped from officers earlier in the night.

 

As a result, four juveniles were arrested on a range of charges that include four juvenile warrants:

  • A 16-year-old girl, two juvenile warrants, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle
  • A 16-year-old boy, escape III
  • A 15-year-old girl, escape III
  • A 15-year-old boy, two juvenile warrants, trespass II, escape III

All five teenagers are now in the care of the Washington County and Clackamas County Juvenile Departments.

 

We’d like to thank our partner agencies for their assistance in responding to this call, including officers from Sherwood Police, Lake Oswego Police, Beaverton Police and firefighters from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue.
