COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Two juveniles were arrested early Wednesday morning after they stole a car with a third child inside, police said.

According to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD), it all started just before 1 a.m. Wednesday, when officers were called to Cheyenne Meadows Road and East Meadow Drive about a motor vehicle theft.

There, parents of a 13-year-old told police they were following a stolen vehicle believed to have their child inside.

Police said officers found the car near South Academy and Highway 115, where they saw two juveniles running into a field near Fort Carson. CSPD along with Fort Carson Military Police set up a perimeter in the area, police said.

Police said the car was stolen on Westmeadow Drive near Cheyenne Meadows Road and South Nevada Avenue.

The ages of the juveniles were not released.
