Three teenagers have been arrested in connection to a stolen vehicle from an east Manhattan convenience store.
According to the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office, dispatchers received a report shortly before 5 o’clock Monday that an SUV had been stolen from the Casey’s parking lot on East Highway 24. A short time later, dispatchers received a 911 call reporting a reckless driver on Highway 24 near Blue Run Road, with an occupant also reportedly pointing a gun at another vehicle.
Officers determined it was the stolen vehicle and pursued it eastbound before it came to a stop just east of Belvue.
All three teenagers were taken into custody on charges of aggravated assault, aggravated battery, fleeing and eluding and theft.
The Sheriff’s Office has not released their names.
The Wamego Police Department, Kansas Highway Patrol, St. Mary’s Police Department and Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s Office also assisted on scene.
