25C03220 - Stolen Vehicle Juvenile Arrest

Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison reports, on 4/21/25 at about 0515 hours, deputies responded to Leavenworth WA, for the report of a stolen vehicle.  


Deputies received information of a stolen vehicle out of Monroe, WA being in the vicinity of Leavenworth WA

.  Deputies responded to the area and located the stolen vehicle as it was heading out of Leavenworth, westbound US 2. The vehicle was occupied by 2 suspects.
Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle but it fled.  They did not pursue but saw that it eventually turned onto Gill Creed Rd, which is a dead end road.  Other deputies responded to the area and under the direction of a CCSO supervisor, they set up containment.  A drone was launched and was able to locate the 2 suspects who had exited the vehicle on foot.  Deputies carefully moved in on foot and due to the drone coverage were able to call out the suspects and take them into custody.  Both suspects were identified as juveniles and lived out of the area.  


The passenger of the stolen vehicle did not know it was stolen and was transported to the Crisis Residential Center until their parents could come and pick them up.  The driver was arrested and charged with RCW 9A.56.068 possession of a stolen vehicle, RCW 46.61.024 attempt to elude and for RCW 9A.56.170 possession of stolen property 3rd degree.


The vehicle will be returned to the rightful owner.


Using the resources and tools available, Chelan County Deputies were able to swiftly bring this incident to a peaceful solution.
