Police: Missing girl found in Virginia Beach; 2 teens charged in connection with stolen vehicle

Two teens have been charged in connection with a vehicle that was reported stolen Friday, police said.

Police said a man told them his car had been stolen while his 8-year-old daughter was still inside from a Wawa at 1146 N. Military Highway at 3:50 p.m. Friday.

After the car was located, police said the driver sped off. After chasing the vehicle to the 6200 block of Alexander Street, the car stopped. Following a short foot chase, police arrested the teens who were in the car.

Norfolk police arrested and charged a 14-year-old boy with grand larceny of a stolen vehicle, felony eluding and conspiracy to commit larceny, and a 15-year-old boy with conspiracy to commit larceny.

After investigating the stolen car, police said the girl was not inside. They continued searching and found her safe with her mother in Virginia Beach. Police issued a summons for the man who reported the missing vehicle for falsely summoning law enforcement, and he was released.

The two teens are being held in Norfolk Detention Center, police said.
