In Tacoma, Washington, a surprising incident unfolded on New Year’s Day involving three young girls—ages 12, 14, and 15—who were caught driving a stolen Kia. The situation quickly turned into a scene out of a movie when police tried to stop the car.
The girls were spotted cruising around in a stolen Kia Optima. When officers attempted to pull them over, the trio ditched the car and made a run for it. However, their escape didn’t last long, as police managed to catch all three.
One detail that stood out was what the officers found—one of the girls had a USB cable on her, a tool often linked to stealing certain Kias and Hyundais. This method has been widely reported in recent years.
The outcome for the three varied. The two older girls were taken to the Remann Hall Juvenile Detention Center in Tacoma, while the youngest, just 12 years old, was brought back home to her family in Auburn.
This unusual story serves as a reminder of how serious car theft can be and the importance of addressing such behavior early on.
