NORTH ST. LOUIS COUNTY (KMOV.com) -- Emergency crews have recovered two people's bodies from Maline Creek Friday after an incident involving a stolen vehicle.

Police say two 18-year-old men stole a vehicle. The owners of the stolen vehicle got into another vehicle and chased the suspects.

Both cars ended up at Bellefontaine and St. Cyr Roads where the four got into an argument.

Police were called to the scene and when they arrived, the two suspects jumped off a steep ledge into Maline Creek.

The two never resurfaced from the water and search and rescue crews recovered their bodies.

If your goal was attract racist comments, you succeeded.

If so, their families will become millionaires as an out of court settlement for the obvious racist DROWNING of these young former choir boys.

Doubtful.

Definitely not my goal as I am not a hater. I personally wish criminals of all Races would take this river-leap challenge.

Those two won’t be stealing any more vehicles.

The taxpayers are still on the hook to pay for the funerals, but there will be fewer car thefts now.

How was the water?

"Let me guess, the car thieves were black. Blacks have a higher rate of drowning than other groups because even when they don’t know how to swim they’ll show off by jumping into the deep end of polls or into lakes or rivers. Other people who don’t swim are generally smart enough to know that they might drown."

There is no indication at all from the article of the race of the would-be car thieves.

I have one guess as to the race of the “swimmers.”

there will be some clues as to the race of the perps and victims. The ‘teens’ weren’t just car thieves but car jackers. They were trying to carjack at a gas station, failed a time or two. There may have been a child in one of the cars they tried to steal. Anyway, their victims started chasing them down before the cops got involved. They jumped a wall likely not knowing a creek was on the other side. One of the ‘young teens’ was a father.

Another happy ending! I could get used to this.

I’d call that a win win. No taxpayer money wasted and no time on loser thieves wasted.

No funeral. Burn and urn. Bill relatives.

I forget the term but something like “natural selection” comes to mind LOL

I was thinking they would make Darwin's list to leave the gene pool this year.

Thanks for the additional information. With that you can at least make a pretty good presumption, though still not conclusive.

“One of the ‘young teens’ was a father.”

Shoot, there goes the Darwin nomination.

On the subject of race...who cares? Why does this matter? Two less carjackers...a Good Thing for all people of all races.

Non swimmers?

Yep, no waste of taxpayers money.

Now that’s what I call efficient police work, and they didn’t even have to waste bullets!

LOL. Yet thinkin ahead.
