Glendale police arrested two boys on suspicion of nearly a dozen car thefts in the West Valley, after one of their dads alerted police.

The boys, ages 12 and 13, are accused of stealing the cars in west Glendale as part of a summer theft spree, according to Glendale police. The pair targeted Kias and Hyundais. Police had started investigating an uptick in car thefts around 67th and Maryland avenues a few months ago.

The father of one of the boys contacted police and said his son had been sneaking out of the house and was known to steal vehicles, according to the police report.

On August 12, officers responding to reports of a suspicious vehicle, found the two boys running through a neighborhood and jumping fences. Using a drone, they located the suspects underneath an RV trailer in a home's backyard.

Both boys were then taken into custody, according to police.

Victor “Vic” Messinger was the Glendale postmaster in this 1905 photo. He graduated in the first graduating class of Stanford University with Herbert Hoover and came to Glendale in the 1890s. He worked at Ryder Lumber and in 1895 built the house on the northeast corner of Lincoln Street and Meridian (Palmaire Avenue and 59th, now the Spicery). He established the first Glendale public library in 1897 with 400 of his own books and he became the first town clerk in 1910. The photo is from the northwest corner of Washington and N. 1st Avenue (Glendale and 58th Drive) in the Ryder Lumber and Hardware building, where City Hall now stands.Glendale history: How the city got its start (Provided by Glendale Arizona Historical Society)

Students rally for schools in 1912. To the slogan "Not room for one more," Glendale Grammar School students parade along Grand Avenue in support of a bond issue for a new school. The four-room brick schoolhouse had become extremely overcrowded. Voters passed a bond issue in 1913 and a unique design of 36 one-room classrooms was built between 1913 and 1920. Today, one of the classrooms remains in back of the Glendale Elementary School District Administration Building, 7301 N. 58th Ave. (Provided by Glendale Arizona Historical Society)

The photo shows how people bought meat when Glendale was a city of about 1,000 residents. Notice the lard buckets on the side counter -- a staple at all the meat markets.

The site now is occupied by the City Hall parking structure. (Provided by Glendale Arizona Historical Society)

Did you know that in 1920 Glendale shipped the most produce in Arizona? Farmers delivered their fruits and vegetables to a palm frond-covered shed beside the Santa Fe railroad tracks. The crates in this image are full of cantaloupes. After the Glendale Ice Company plant began operating in 1912, hundreds of icebox rail cars were shipped out of Glendale every year. By 1920 Glendale was shipping thousands of cars annually. (Provided by Glendale Arizona Historical Society)

Branding young steers with the Sands “LS” mark in the 1930s at Manistee Ranch was a hot and dusty job for wrangers. Besides being used to raise crops, the ranch served as a feedlot to fatten cattle for market. Manistee Ranch was on the outskirts of Glendale until it was surrounded by a growing city. Half the ranch was sold off bit by bit in the years after World War II, but the rest was still used for ranching activities until 1996. (Provided by Glendale Arizona Historical Society)

Construction of Thunderbird Field began in 1941. The airfield was part of the U.S. Army’s Civilian Pilot Training Program, whose goal was to increase the number of trained pilots in America in case the country became involved in the war raging at the time in Europe. Thunderbird was a civilian contract school operated by Southwest Airways and supervised by army air force personnel. The first class of cadets, 57 strong, arrived in March 1941. They received 65 hours of flying training and 109 hours of ground-school instruction over a period of nine weeks. After that, they may have gone on to more advanced training at another airfield. By the time Thunderbird closed in June 1945, more than 10,000 men and trained there, as well as 15 classes of Chinese Air Force cadets. The plane they learned in was the bi-wing Boeing PT-17, popularly known as the “Stearman.” In this 1946 image of the field, the resemblance of the building layout to the Native American concept of the mythical thunderbird can be seen. At the bottom, the control tower forms part of the tail of the thunderbird. (Provided by Glendale Arizona Historical Society)

In 1912, Ora R. Weed, his wife, Phebe, and their children boarded a train in the home state of Kansas to travel with all their belongings to Arizona, where they had purchased 160 acres of land northwest of Glendale. Preacher, teacher, farmer and manufacturer of brooms, Weed established a conservative Christian church and school that he named Old Paths. Weedville, as the community of some 40 families came to be called, sprouted a chapel, four classrooms, and this home for the Weedses. The Weed family supported itself from donations, farming, operating a tiny country store, and making and selling brooms. When Ora Weed died in 1942, his vision of a privately owned Christian academy began to slip away. Little by little, the property was sold. In 1952, the core buildings of Weedville were acquired to establish Southwest Indian School of Thunderbird Road and Lateral 20 (75th Avenue). In the summer of 1912, the Weeds had their photograph taken in front of their home. Note the many flaps over screened openings that could be raised or lowered to adjust airflow. In front of the house, (left to right), are Harry, Jess, Ora R. Weed, Ezra, Enoch, baby James in mother Phebe’s arms, Rachel (in front of) Huldah, “Sister” Cobb, Bessie Haroldson, and Mrs. Dudley and her son (in front of Bessie).

Glendale history: How the city got its start

Both boys admitted to being involved in multiple car thefts during a two-month timeframe over the summer, according to Glendale police. The boys described using a screwdriver to pop the cars' back windows before they ripped off the steering columns to damage the ignition and start the cars.

Glendale police had also been tracking a TikTok account showing videos of Kias and Hyundais being stolen and driven recklessly. One boy reportedly admitted he had access to the account.

Detectives recovered multiple stolen vehicles during the investigation, including a Kia Optima and a Hyundai Elantra that had not yet been reported stolen.

The 13-year-old suspect was booked into the Glendale City Jail on suspicion of five counts of theft, one count of attempted theft, possession of burglary tools and criminal trespassing.

The 12-year-old suspect was booked on six counts related to breaking into vehicles.

The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may be filed, according to Glendale police.
