Four teenagers were recently taken into custody in Tracy after allegedly being caught traveling in a sedan that was carjacked in Livermore not long before.
Tracy police said the situation unfolded in their area just after 9:30 p.m. Feb. 9 when a Livermore police officer contacted the department after getting a hit while entering the information of a carjacked vehicle into the Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader database.
The database recorded the vehicle, which had been stolen in a carjacking in Livermore, as just having been detected in northwest Tracy, according to police, who reported soon locating the sedan near Byron Road and Great Valley Parkway.
Tracy police officers used spike strips to stop the car on Byron Road north of Mountain House Parkway, according to the department. Four occupants got out and tried to run away but were quickly caught, police said.
Officers detained an 18-year-old Tracy man and three juveniles at the scene. The eldest arrestee allegedly admitted to being the driver and was subsequently booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on suspicion of receiving a stolen vehicle, evading police and resisting arrest.
