Several people alerted authorities with a vehicle description and a description of the suspects. Patrol Deputies were able to quickly respond to the area and locate the vehicle and suspects.
The suspects were booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on charges of possession of stolen property, petit larceny, and other drug related charges.
