Benton Police Department responded to a Hidden Meadows address early Saturday morning in reference to a vehicle theft. Shannon Hills Police Department later located the missing vehicle in their jurisdiction, and four male juvenile suspects ranging in age from 14 to 16 years old were taken into custody in connection with the vehicle theft. With this information, BNPD detectives were able to link the juvenile suspects to several breaking or entering reports in the Gattin Road area. They were transferred to a juvenile detention facility to await formal charges.
Detectives have recovered a few of the stolen items and are following leads in an effort to recover the remaining property. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges may be forthcoming.
BNPD asks that anyone with information about these incidents contact the department at 501-778-1171 or 501-315-TIPS. Anonymous tips may also be sent via text to CRIMES (274637) with the keyword BNPD in the body of the message, via the official Benton Police Department app available on iTunes and Google Play or at www.crimereports.com.
