At least four in custody after auto theft chase in Carson City

At least four people are in custody today and face charges of auto theft after allegedly stealing vehicles over the past several days, Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong reports.

The four subjects, believed to be men and possibly a juvenile, are believed to be involved in the theft of two cars this morning alone in which a vehicle was reported stolen, was recovered and then stolen again, Furlong said. More arrests were in the making late this morning at an apartment at 2808 Menlo Drive.

"This thing has mushroomed. We think there's more to this than stolen vehicles," Furlong said.
