Vehicle Crimes detectives Monday afternoon located a stolen Ford F-150 pickup truck at an apartment complex on Oakwood Avenue in East Nashville. A 16-year-old male got into the vehicle and began driving but, before officers could stop him, he quickly bailed from the vehicle and fled on foot. He was taken into custody after a brief foot pursuit.
The teen was charged in Juvenile Court with vehicle theft and evading arrest. Several other young men had been standing near the pickup when the suspect drove off. The investigation continues into the 16-year-old’s potential involvement in vehicle break-ins and the identification of those who were with him.
The pickup truck was stolen Sunday in Berry Hill.
