Police were able to track down the car in the city of Pittsburgh on Monday morning. Police say when Hussein Hassan, 18, got into the car on Suncrest Street in Knoxville, officers pulled the man over and searched his car.
State police say Hassan admitted to taking the three men to the Dicks parking lot of the Westmorland Mall. Hassan allowed police to also search his home, where they found several stolen clothing items with tags still on them.
“I think they should arrest them, put ‘em in jail and let ‘em rot,” Don Svetkovich of Greensburg said.
Police arrested Hassan and charged him with retail theft. Hassan told police that after leaving the Dick’s he drove the three men back to Pittsburgh and dropped them off at a park. There’s no word on their whereabouts right now.
