About an hour later, officers went to investigate a reported hit-and-run along the 10000 block of Wild Orchid Way. Witnesses were able to jot down the car's description and license plate and officers quickly identified it as the car stolen just a little while before.
Officers were later able to catch up to the suspects and arrested them.
