Three juvenile inmates who escaped the Lake Granbury Youth Services facility after assaulting two guards were arrested on Monday, Dec. 16, the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a news release.
The inmates — two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old — stole a vehicle and several guns and then committed an armed robbery at a gas station in Dublin, after escaping on Sunday, authorities said.
After the robbery, a manhunt for the three teens was conducted by the Dublin Police Department, Granbury Police Department, Erath County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas DPS.
The suspects stole a second vehicle and traveled to Lancaster, authorities said.
Lancaster police found the stolen vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The suspects then fled to Hutchins, where they abandoned the vehicle, the release stated.
A multi-agency law enforcement search in the Dallas area located the suspects and they have been arrested. All three were in police custody Monday.
