Five juveniles arrested in a crime spree that ended in a multi-car crash Tuesday in Seattle are facing serious felony charges, including burglary, malicious mischief, theft of a motor vehicle, theft and attempted theft of a motor vehicle.

In court Wednesday, four out of the five suspects had first appearance hearings, and the court ordered all four to remain in custody for the community’s safety. The youngest suspect in the group is just 12 years old.

Seattle police say this is not the first crime these suspects have been involved in, and investigators believe they were also responsible for a string of serious crimes that began on April 29. Over the next several weeks after April 29, police believe the group committed more than a dozen robberies, assaults, auto thefts, and hit and runs.

Police made the connection based on the description of the boys and the pattern in the way the crimes were committed, according to officials.
