Teen Bonnie and Clyde: Stolen Pickup Truck Found Abandoned in Georgia
By DAN GOOD
A pickup truck allegedly stolen by two Kentucky teenagers was found abandoned in Georgia, authorities said, with another pickup reported missing nearby as their alleged crime spree stretched into a new state.
The teens – identified as Cheyenne Phillips, 13, and Dalton Hayes, 18 – have been on the run since Jan. 4.
Surveillance images released by the Grayson County (Kentucky) Sheriff’s Office showed the teens at a Manning, South Carolina Walmart Monday. Authorities said the teens were traveling in a stolen red 2006 Toyota Tacoma that had a firearm inside.
That vehicle has firearms reported inside, authorities said.
The teens reportedly destroyed thousands of dollars in property by plowing through a Kentucky cattle farm and smashing a truck there, before allegedly stealing the Tacoma and driving to South Carolina. They have also been cashing stolen checks, authorities say.
Authorities urge anyone who comes in contact with the teens or the stolen pickup to call 911.
