A young couple is wanted in a multi-state crime spree that encompasses four states, including Georgia, investigators report.
Cheyenne Phillips, 13, and Dalton Hayes, 18, are being sought for reportedly stealing cars, forging checks and breaking into homes from Kentucky to Georgia. The couple’s last known crime happened in Henry County, Ga., a south suburb of Atlanta, where police say they allegedly stole a pickup loaded with guns.
According to wsbtv.com, the couple were seen on surveillance cameras entering a Walmart where they tried to pass off forged checks.
The pair may have involved in a spate of home burglaries before taking off in a stolen red pickup and passing off forged checks in Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
Their next and last known stop was on Airline Road in Henry County. Police say on Wednesday, the couple ditched their stolen red pickup and stole a silver 2001 Toyota Tundra pickup.
“The citizen that owns the vehicle does have registered firearms that he kept in the vehicles, and they were stolen as well,” said Henry County Police Lt. Joey Smith told the publication.
Police said they are not sure if the couple remained in Georgia after ditching their vehicle. They are concerned that the teens’ crime spree seem to be increasing as time goes on.
“It’s very serious anyway. But knowing that weapons are involved and it’s confirmed, always you are going to be on heightened alert and everyone should take caution if they see the vehicle. Never approach it,” Smith said.
