Five Teenagers Arrested Following Recovery of Stolen Vehicles in Raleigh, Tennessee

Five Teens Arrested After Discovery of Stolen Vehicles in Raleigh Residence

Raleigh, Tennessee

Five teenagers are currently facing charges after law enforcement authorities discovered two stolen vehicles at a home in Raleigh on the morning of Wednesday, June 19, escalating concerns on juvenile crime rates in the city.

First Theft Incident

According to the responding officers, the initial auto theft was reported in the 9600 block of Tributary Cove on June 17, around 8 a.m. The victim informed the authorities that his Nissan Maxima had vanished from his property between the hours of 3 and 4 a.m. The residence was subsequently examined for evidence and the vehicle officially reported as stolen.

Location of Stolen Vehicles

The stolen Nissan Maxima was located two days later, on June 19, following a suspicious activity call from the 3200 block of Magevney Street at about 7 a.m. On arrival at the scene, additional officers observed two individuals in the stolen vehicle, who then attempted to evade arrest by running away. However, both suspects were apprehended swiftly and effectively.

Evidence on location points to the involvement of these individuals in not only the theft of the Nissan Maxima but also another auto theft. A Nissan Sentra, reported stolen from the 3200 block of Austin Peay Highway during the early hours of June 19, was evidently located at the same residence.

Additional Arrests and Charges

As the officers were recovering the stolen vehicles, three more teenagers exited the residence and were detained for reportedly trying to disrupt the officers in the line of duty. Notably, one of the teens attempted to open a squad car door, supposedly in a bid to aid a detained suspect’s escape.

All five of the teenagers, two 18-year-olds, two 17-year-olds, and a 16-year-old, have been charged accordingly. Two of the teens are facing charges related to the theft of property ranging from $10,000 to $60,000, and illegal possession of a weapon, identified as a Glock handgun equipped with a Glock switch, discovered on one of the accused and in the stolen Maxima. A charge of aiding an escape attempt has been issued against one of the teens.

Jermall Scott and J’Marion Moore, both 18-years-old, were among the teenagers arrested. Photos of Scott and Moore have been released by the Memphis Police Department.

Continuing Investigation

In addition to the charges related to this incident, one of the accused teens also has an existing warrant out for aggravated assault, further complicating the legal situation. The ongoing investigation might yield more insight into the operations of these teen delinquents, the extent of their criminal activities, and whether more suspects are at large.

Public Appeal

The law enforcement community in Memphis is urging locals to assist in combating crimes of this nature by reporting suspicious activities in their neighborhoods. The successful resolution of this case was largely due to the vigilance of the local residents, highlighting the role of community engagement in addressing juvenile criminal behavior and ensuring public safety.
