Fifteen, do we know if there's any residential buildings near the trees?

Hey, it looks like it's spreading to a vehicle, so eventually.

I'll do it.

Do you know anything more about the juveniles? Are they probably going to school there, or are they just in the area in the neighborhood and run off or?
01:32
I was just wondering about myself.
01:35
The only description I have is a group and they got in a vehicle and fled.
01:39
No vehicle description or direction of travel.
01:45
We did get several calls all at once, so I'm sure someone will flag you down when you get there.

You want to just have a suspect description vehicle for me?
03:33
Go ahead with it.
03:35
All they have is a dark colored sedan.
03:37
Sounds like they could probably go here, but they're not 100 % sure.

One heard a lot.
03:43
I copy. Dark colored sedan and possibly students.
03:48
Yeah, that's what I got.
