CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Two men and a woman are accused of chasing down two 14-year-old suspected car thieves, forcing them into the trunk of their car at gunpoint and driving them to the Cleveland Police Fourth District headquarters, according to police.

Kenyatta Ware II, 21, George Barnes, 29, and Shelia Beale, 49, are all charged with felonious assault and kidnapping. All three have been arrested and are awaiting their first court appearance.

It is unknown if the two 14-year-old boys have been formally charged, but they were arrested on suspicion of grand theft of a motor vehicle, according to police reports.

The incident began when the two teens stole a 2013 Chrysler 200 from Garfield Heights, according to police. The car belonged to the mother of one of the men who got arrested.

The trio tracked the car though a GPS locator inside the car, according to police. They caught up with the stolen car about 5 p.m. on Anita Kennedy Avenue and East 70th Street, police said.

The men got out of cars, pulled out guns and told the teens: "You stole the wrong car...," according to police reports. Barnes then fired several gunshots into the car, police reports and court records say.

The teens sped off with the trio following in their cars, according to police. The teens hit several utility poles during the chase.

The teens jumped a curb on East 80th Street and Bessemer Avenue and crashed into a townhouse, causing extensive damage to both the home and the car, according to police reports. No one was inside the home at the time of the crash, police said.

Barnes and Ware then ordered the teens out of the car at gunpoint, according to police. They punched the two teens, knocking them to the ground, then stomped on them, according to police.

They ordered the teens at gunpoint to get in the trunk of one of the cars, police said. The teens complied and Ware and Beale drove the teens to the Fourth District headquarters, police said.

Ware and Beale were arrested at the police station. Barnes drove off and was later arrested near the scene of the crash, according to police.

Ware admitted to attacking the teens and Beale admitted to forcing them inside the trunk, according to police reports.

The teens were taken to University Hospital for treatment.

Leave it to the Cleveland PD to arrest the wrong people.

Isn’t that right out of a Sopranos episode?

Did the police set up a perimeter around the trunk and wait?

The police really need to reconsider arresting the car owners.

The next time this happens the punks will get taken to a town 100 miles away and left, naked on a street corner.

Too bad there is no “GoFundMe” for the three adults.
Although they did take vengence a litte too far.
Of all times for someone not to have a phone-camera.

What I would give to see the looks on the teen-thug faces when they realized these three ‘victims’ were not going to take it! Lol!

I bet the cops had problems with them not accidentally smashing the kids heads on the trunk lid as they put them in. Got to follow proper arrest procedure.

The police are not here to protect your property. They won’t even try.
And if you try to protect your property, they will arrest you.

I am guilty too. When I was 7 in Santa Monica in 1945, the local kids went into a new home under construction and ripped out a bunch of Lath & Plaster walls. So the next day me and a friend went back to finish the job. Got caught by the owner stuffed into her trunk and taken to the Police station. They put us under a spot light and threatned that we were going to spend the rest of out life in prision if we didn't spill the beans we did, and it cost the other kids $600. Dad not happy

In the hood, that sentence would usually be ended with a profanity; “You stole the wrong car, B*tch!”.

Now there is an idea for fixing car theft. If no one owned a car, no one could steel one. And think what it would do for glowbull warming.
