Teens Arrested in Stolen Car Chase

0:00It's April 17. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Kansas News today, local news powered by AI. Clay County deputies chased down two stolen cars in Northeast Kansas City, early Monday, just after 1am on Missouri Highway 210. They arrested 221-year-olds, Caden Nolan and Cavante White, plus a 13-year-old boy who was driving one of the vehicles. The pursuit kicked off when deputies spotted the cars on an entrance ramp from North Chautau trafficway. The first ride hit a curb, blew a tire, and spun out into a field near North Kansas City Hospital. The two men inside bailed. One surrendered right away, the other got caught by a K-9 after a short foot chase. Meanwhile deputies kept after the second car, which crapped out near Randolph Road. That's when the young driver stepped out, casually blaming owners for leaving vehicles unlocked with keys inside. Nolan and White faced resisting arrest and tampering with a motor vehicle charges.

1:00They're held at Clay County Detention Center, with Nolan's bond hearings set for April 17 and White due in court May 5. The team went straight to juvenile custody. Cases like this highlight the risks of hot wiring joy rides with kids behind the wheel. These are watching close as these hearings unfold.
