A juvenile male was taken into custody after a Chevy Equinox stolen early Thursday morning from a residence in the northeast quadrant of Austin was recovered later in the day in the northwest.

According to Austin Police Capt. David McKichan, the vehicle was found on Thursday parked in the driveway of a residence in the northwest. The home’s occupant did not recognize the vehicle and called the police, who determined it was the same vehicle stolen from a northeast garage earlier in the day.

Police believe the vehicle was parked there and abandoned by the thief.

A juvenile male police believe is connected to the case was arrested. Due to the nature of the ongoing investigation, McKichan could not provide any more information about the juvenile except that he was not with the vehicle at the time of the arrest.

The vehicle was unlocked and the keys were inside when it was stolen. The thief entered the garage through an unlocked service door and used the pull string to open the garage door.

McKichan said the juvenile could face possible charges of vehicle theft and burglary.
