4 Teens Busted Stealing From Crocker Park Store

WESTLAKE, OH - A group of Clevelanders stole nearly $1,000 in merchandise from a Crocker Park Boulevard store and then attempted to flee the scene on May 4. The group were stymied by police and a Good Samaritan who made their lives a lot more difficult.

A car of five Clevelanders pulled into the store and then four people in the car jumped out and stole the merchandise. When they tried to flee in their vehicle, another driver blocked them in on the single lane road and refused to let them leave.

Instead of giving up, the Clevelanders tried to jump the curb. They didn't get far, colliding with a fire hydrant that stopped their getaway.

Undeterred, a 19-year-old male with the group jumped out and ran from the scene on-foot. He was later tracked down by police and faces a theft charge.

A 17-year-old girl faces a Petty Theft charge, and a 19-year-old woman face a Complicity Charge. A third 17-year-old girl faces Petty Theft and POM charges. An 18-year-old with Downs' syndrome, was with the group, but police say she was not involved in the theft.
