AUSTINTOWN, Ohio - Early Tuesday morning, Austintown Police responded to a home on Main Street, after a resident reported concerns of a group of minors breaking into vehicles.

A neighbor reported seeing several juveniles tampering with vehicles at the Main Street home through a Ring camera.

Officers discovered significant damage to two vehicles on the property. One was "ransacked" and the other sustained a damaged steering column, consistent with a car theft attempt, according to the police report.

Officers also reportedly located three juveniles in the area: A 12-year-old boy and two 13-year-old girls. Officers attempted to identify the minors and the three claimed they were on a walk; officers informed them they were out past curfew. As officers attempted to obtain more identifying information from the boy and place him in a patrol car, he fled on foot. 

This led to a foot pursuit down the street and through residents' yards. Austintown Police say the boy ignored loud commands to stop as an officer pursued him on foot. 

All three juveniles were issued summons for curfew violations and officers on the scene also advised a potential charge of "obstructing official business" be placed on the boy for lying to, and evading, police.
