On Sunday afternoon at 2:35 p.m., the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office responded to a larceny report at Walmart located on Brandt Point Drive in Penfield, New York. Although the suspects had already fled the scene, deputies were provided with a description of the stolen SUV they were driving, which had been reported missing from the Town of Brighton on December 13th.
The deputies discovered the SUV and tried to stop it, but the suspect evaded capture by driving away. Eventually, a pursuit came to an end when the stolen SUV crashed into another vehicle at the intersection of Culver Road and Russell Avenue in Irondequoit.
Authorities apprehended two teenage girls, one aged 14 and the other 15, and placed them in custody.
At just 14 years old, the teenager is now confronted with a series of charges.
-
- Third-degree criminal possession stolen property

A 15-year-old is facing charges for third-degree criminal possession of stolen property.
Both suspects have been transported to the Monroe County Children’s Detention Center, where they will face arraignment in Monroe County Family Court on Monday.
Fortunately, both the suspects and the individuals in the other vehicle escaped unharmed.
