HILLIARD, Ohio — At least nine cars have been reported stolen in Hilliard since December and police have arrested eight juveniles, with one being as young as 12-years-old.
Hilliard Lt. Doug Lightfoot says most of the time officers take the suspects to the juvenile detention center and are immediately released to their parents.
“It is extremely frustrating to know that we will charge them today and then within two or three days, they are doing it again in another jurisdiction,” Lightfoot said.
