Kia thefts: 2 arrested

We've had several reports of thefts and attempted thefts of Kia vehicles in Deltona, part of a nationwide TikTok trend... Here's an update:
Two suspects (a 17-year-old and a 15-year-old) have been arrested on charges including multiple counts of grand theft of a motor vehicle, criminal mischief, and violation of probation.
On Dec. 19, deputies spotted a stolen Kia Soul minutes after it was reported. The driver fled, and the car was later found crashed and abandoned. Two juveniles were tracked down in the area and confirmed to be the occupants. Detectives were able to connect them to several other cases as well.
A Deltona resident aware of the TikTok trend also helped us out that day by reporting two Kia Souls that sped past his house. Air One was able to spot the second Kia, also abandoned in the area, and led deputies to it.
The female passenger seen in this video was not charged, but a second male suspect involved in the trend was identified and arrested this week.
Great work all!

So, he violated his probation, how about charging him as an adult then, let him sit in jail for a while.

Kids on Tik Tok come up with quite possibly the dumbest trends. I'm not gonna say I didn't do stupid stuff as a kid, but at least I had the common sense to not film myself committing felonies and post it for internet clout.
