Fishers Police apprehended four juveniles in connection with a string of vehicle break-ins at the Napleton KIA of Fishers parking lot located at 13417 Britton Park Road. The incident occurred in the early hours Sunday, prompting a response from law enforcement.

Officers were dispatched to the scene around 5:00 am after receiving alerts from the Napleton KIA security video monitoring system, which had captured footage of several individuals breaking into parked vehicles. Upon arrival, officers observed one suspect fleeing on foot across the property. Simultaneously, a black 2014 Kia Soul exited the parking lot, catching the attention of the law enforcement team.

A perimeter was swiftly established as officers initiated a search for the fleeing suspect. Despite deploying a K-9 unit and a drone to assist in the search efforts, the suspect managed to evade capture. In a parallel development, other officers spotted the stolen black Kia Soul fleeing the scene, prompting a pursuit that led onto SR 37.

The pursuit came to an abrupt end near the SR 37/I-69 interchange, as the suspect vehicle crashed, allowing four individuals to flee on foot. The driver of the stolen vehicle was swiftly apprehended, while Fishers and Noblesville Police Departments collaborated to set up a perimeter and locate the remaining suspects. The assistance of a Noblesville K-9 unit proved instrumental in locating three of the suspects hiding in a trash dumpster.

All four suspects, identified as juveniles, were taken into custody, and the investigation into the incident is ongoing. The stolen black Kia Soul was traced back to a residence in Indianapolis, adding another layer to the unfolding story. In total, officers identified six damaged vehicles in the Napleton KIA parking lot, with two vehicles having smashed windows and five showing signs of interior damage, including harm to the steering column and ignition switch.

One juvenile suspect, 16, faces a number of charges, including Resisting Law Enforcement with a Vehicle, Resisting Law Enforcement – Fleeing, Unauthorized Entry of a Motor Vehicle,  Auto Theft, Criminal Mischief and Operating a Motor Vehicle Without Ever Receiving a License.  Two juveniles, 14, and one age 15, are charged with Resisting Law Enforcement – Fleeing, Unauthorized Entry of a Motor Vehicle, Auto Theft and Criminal Mischief.
