Three juvenile suspects are in custody following an investigation into a Bartlesville theft.
Bartlesville Police say the case involves the recent theft of wheels and tires from a Bartlesville car dealership. Acting on a tip, investigators located an online advertisement for some of the merchandise. Investigators then arranged a "buy-bust" operation to recover the property. An undercover deputy met with the suspects and was able to confirm the items matched the stolen property. The suspects were then arrested and taken into custody without incident. The merchandise was valued at several thousand dollars.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Bartlesville Police Department at 918-338-4001. The investigation remains ongoing.
