13-Year-Old Girl, 15-Year-Old Boy Arrested In Carjacking
Two young teenagers stole a truck and threatened its owner outside a Brick Church Pike gas station, police say.
NASHVILLE, TN -- A 13-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy stole a pick-up and threatened its owner outside a north Nashville gas station Saturday night, police said.
A man and his 14-year-old daughter parked outside a Shell station in the 5400 block of Brick Church Pike around 6:30 p.m., leaving the keys to a Ford F-150 in the ignition. The man told police his daughter saw the two other teens getting into the truck and when he confronted the boy, he allegedly reached to his waistband and said "I'm gonna bust you."
The man backed off, fearing a gun, and the two teens drove off. Police arrested the pair a short time later after they'd abandoned the truck. The girl had the keys in her pocket, police said.
