One juvenile was seen wearing a dark gray t-shirt, orange shorts, multicolored socks, and black crocs. Copy that. If it is drivable, units are good to pick it up; they just need the teletype from Channel 7. I assume it's drivable; the column is peeled but nothing else visible. The car is now moving near Fullerton, circling between Broadway, 65th, and Fullerton. The helicopter is on scene and switching to channel four to observe. A blue Kia Forte was seen in the area; it is freshly stolen. Adam 36, can you head toward the domestic call? It's bouncing between the fourth and the third. We're monitoring. End of transmission.
