3 teens arrested and charged in Entering Automobile incident in the 700 block of 9th Ave

ALBANY, Ga. – On March 24, 2025, officers interviewed two male juvenile suspects from an entering automobile incident that occurred in the 700 block of 9th Ave. Officers were able to detain the juveniles from a tip when viewers saw video footage on our news media platforms.

The juveniles told officers that they had broken into multiple vehicles on 5th and 6th Avenue. Once they arrived at a location in the 700 block of 9th Avenue, they stole a gun, and when the owner came outside, they fled the scene. He said the owner got into his vehicle to follow them. The juveniles started shooting at the vehicle, and the owner started shooting back at them. Approximately three firearms were stolen from the break-ins. Two 14-year-olds and one twelve-year-old were arrested for their involvement in this case.

The juveniles were taken into custody and transported to Terrell County RYDC. They were charged with Entering an Automobile, Aggravated Assault, and Possession of a Handgun by a Person Under the Age of 18.

We would like to let the public know that if you had a vehicle entered during this time frame and didn’t report it, you could still report the incident to the police.
