COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – Two teenage suspects are facing several charges after a motor vehicle theft investigation.

According to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD), officers were investigating a stolen green 2017 Subaru on Monday.

CSPD’s motor vehicle theft unit identified Carmine Frey, 18, as the driver of the vehicle.

Detectives initiated a traffic stop with a marked vehicle; however, police said Frey quickly drove off. Detectives reportedly saw Frey wearing a black mask while driving away.

Detectives later detained Frey in the area of North Circle Drive and Galley Road. A juvenile inside the Subaru was found to have a nationwide, no bond, warrant for his arrest for assault.

According to police, the juvenile was on bond for assault at the time of the arrest, and had a loaded 40 Caliber handgun, body armor, and a felony amount of narcotics. After searching the Subaru, police reportedly found evidence of burglary, which included military-grade body armor.
