TWO JUVENILES, TWO ADULTS STEAL VAN, CAPTURED WITH THE HELP OF NEW HELICOPTER AFTER PURSUIT
On February 22, 2018, Marion County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Coates responded to the 1600th block of SE 169th Terrace Road, in reference to an auto theft that just occurred. The victim advised his 2013 Chrysler Minivan was just stolen. Deputy Witte observed the vehicle in the area of Ocklawaha and attempted to stop it. The vehicle failed to stop and a vehicle pursuit was initiated. Air1, K9, and other units responded to assist in perimeter as the vehicle traveled back to the area of the Forest. As the vehicle was traveling west on Highway 40 approaching Highway 314A, Deputy Cranston deployed stop sticks. The stop sticks were successful but the vehicle continued south on South Highway 314A. Deputy Donely then performed a successful PIT maneuver on the vehicle, causing it to stop at the 900th block of S314A. The defendants all fled from the vehicle but the new Air 1 helicopter was overhead and units were able to take the four defendants into custody. Jeremiah Mills (DOB: 04/08/1999, Christopher Carter (driver) (DOB: 05/11/1999) and juveniles Tanner Miller (DOB: 08/01/2000) and Larry Riley (DOB: 10/11/2000) were arrested and taken to jail.
GREAT JOB TO EVERYONE INVOLVED!!
