Police arrested a 20-year-old Arnold woman and a 24-year-old St. Louis man in connection with the theft of a car found in the Taco Bell parking lot, 1932 Richardson Road, in Arnold. The car was located after a Flock Safety license-plate reading camera system detected it in the city, Arnold Police reported.
At about 10:20 p.m. March 12, an officer found the 2014 Honda Civic parked in a handicap parking space outside the restaurant. The man was in the driver seat, and the woman was in the passenger seat, the report said.
The car was reported stolen on March 1 by a 74-year-old Ferguson woman who lives in the 400 block of Teston Drive, according to the report.
The woman and man found in the stolen car were arrested and taken to the Arnold Police Station, where they were booked and released pending application for warrants. Arnold Police will seek a first-degree tampering charge against the man and a second-degree tampering charge against the woman through the Arnold Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, Maj. Clinton Wooldridge said.
