JANESVILLE, Wis. — Janesville police arrested three teens Tuesday night after a vehicle reported stolen out of Sun Prairie was spotted in Janesville.
A resident first reported the “suspicious” vehicle in the 100 block of Linn Street around 10:30 p.m. They obtained the vehicle’s license plate number, which came back as a car reported stolen from Sun Prairie.

Police responded to the area and located the teens running in the area of Racine Street and Park Avenue. They were taken into custody a short time later.
Authorities said they have not found the driver of the stolen vehicle.
