WICHITA, Kansas — A Wichita mother says she’s still shaken after her car was stolen from her driveway early Thursday morning with her children’s car seats still inside, an incident that ended in a crash and the arrest of two armed teenagers.
Theft and Discovery of the Car
Greysin Wirths said she woke up to find her car missing and immediately called her father and police. “I noticed that my car was gone and immediately started freaking out,” she said. “Didn’t know what happened or when it would have happened.”
A few hours later, Wirths learned her vehicle had been involved in a crash and was completely totaled. “As soon as I saw my dad calling, I had a feeling that it was found, but when he said it was totaled, I just said, ‘How bad?’” she recalled.
Police later confirmed the car had been stolen by two armed teens, who were taken into custody after a chase and crash near 21st and Tyler. Officers found multiple firearms inside the wrecked vehicle.
Items Tossed in a Stranger’s Yard
Wirths said the thieves threw one of her children’s car seats and several baby pictures into a stranger’s yard. “It was terrifying,” she said. “Even though my child wasn’t in there, all the emotions of something happening to him were flooding my mind. The baby pictures were in the water — they just didn’t care about anything.”…
