Three people in a pickup with Oklahoma license plates at the Super 8 motel seemed suspicious to the person who called the Great Bend Police Department early Friday. When officers arrived, they found a stolen vehicle, a large amount of suspected meth and a runaway juvenile. One suspect got away, however.

According to a news release from Police Chief David Bailey, officers were dispatched to the motel at 911 Grant St. around 4 a.m. The caller advised there were three subjects by a 2002 Ford F-150 pickup with Oklahoma license plates parked in the parking lot. While officers were en route, Communications checked the license number provided by the caller and advised the truck had been reported stolen from Oklahoma.

When officers arrived, all three subjects fled on foot. Two of the subjects, a male and female, were taken into custody. The third suspect eluded officers and had not been apprehended as of Friday afternoon. The two subjects apprehended were both identified as juveniles.

During the arrest, a large amount of methamphetamine was located on the juvenile male suspect. The juvenile female had been reported as a runaway from Colorado. Both were transported to Juvenile Detention. 

This investigation is continuing and further arrests are anticipated. Anyone with information regarding this case or any other crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 620-792-1300 or the Great Bend Police Department, 620-793-4120.
