According to the Houston Police Department, the Jaguar crashed into a drainage ditch, and four suspects exited the vehicle and ran.
HPD’s Lt. Larry Crowson confirmed police arrested two of the suspects, but the other two got away.
Both teens refused to provide their identities, but authorities were able to match their fingerprints to previous arrest records.
The 14-year-old driver is currently on parole from a juvenile detention center, while the 16-year-old passenger is on probation. One of the teens was even wearing an ankle monitor.
Authorities matched the car’s license plate to a vehicle stolen at gunpoint Tuesday evening at around 7:30 p.m. in Humble. The victim told constables seven young men robbed her and took her vehicle.
