»  Comments | Post a Comment

Two 17-year-olds fled from a juvenile diversion program at a Florida Keys campground in a stolen firetruck.

The teens have been arrested and charged with grand theft auto.

Authorities say a Camp Sawyer counselor called the Monroe County sheriff's office Monday morning to report that the teens were missing from the site on West Summerland Key. Deputies then learned of the missing Big Pine Key Fire Department truck.

The boys, who were wearing only underwear, were caught 90 miles away.

Sheriff's office spokeswoman Becky Herrin says she can remember police cars being stolen, but this is the first case of a stolen firetruck.
