COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Division of Police is investigating two instances of juveniles crashing Kias into structures in the Hilltop neighborhood on Tuesday.
The first incident happened just before 6:30 p.m. on Edwin Street where police said a stolen Kia Soul crashed into a garage, causing significant damage.
Police said two juveniles, a boy and a girl, got out of the Kia and ran away.
The homeowner told 10TV the Kia went through the garage, hit the house and hit the neighbor's house as well.
About an hour later, police said three juveniles crashed another suspected stolen Kia into the bleachers at West High School on South Powell Avenue. They also ran away from the scene.
For more than a year, CrimeTracker 10 has reported on juveniles stealing Hyundais and Kias due to how easy the vehicles are to steal.
Police did not say if either incident is connected.
No injuries were reported in either crash.
The garage sustained heavy damage from the crash. The homeowner said the Kia went through the garage, hit the house and hit the neighbor's house as well.
Police did not release any additional information.
