Advisory

POLICE ACTIVITY in Westchester Est; officers are searching for evidence after capturing 2 subj overnight.

At about 4:00 AM on October 10, 2022, the Creve Coeur Police Department responded to assist St. Louis County PD for a report of subjects breaking into vehicles off of Guelbreth Road, just north of Creve Coeur city limits. As Officers arrived, they observed three vehicles leave the area at a high rate of speed. CCPD Officers did not pursue, but did keep a close watch of the area and of their assigned sectors. One of the vehicles, a Hyundai Tucson, was later seen entering the Westchester Estates subdivision off of Ballas Road. Knowing this was a dead-end street, CCPD Officers followed the vehicle into the subdivision. The occupants of the Hyundai abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot in the 11700 block of Lakeshore Drive. A perimeter was immediately established and Officers deployed a CCPD SUA (small unmanned aircraft - drone). The CCPD SUA has night vision capabilities, as well as a high-intensity spotlight. It was operated by CCPD Officers who were able to locate the subjects on foot in the area of New Salem Drive. Officers took two male subjects into custody; one 18 years of age and one 13 years of age. At least one vehicle on New Salem Drive had been tampered with. The vehicle they abandoned, a 2018 Hyundai Tucson, had been reported stolen from south St. Louis, on October 9th. Although both occupants of the stolen vehicle were apprehended, Officers will be remaining in the area collecting evidence and checking for other vehicles that may have been tampered with. If your vehicle was tampered with or if you have any information such as doorbell camera videos, surveillance videos, or other information pertinent to this investigation, please call police dispatch at (314)737-4600 or send an email to [email protected].
