(Radio Iowa) – Two teenagers have been charged with stealing 100 dollars worth of alcohol from a Storm Lake gas station — and a clerk at the Midtown Brew gas station faces charges for allegedly hitting one of the suspects with a vehicle. Police say the alcohol thefts at Midtown Brew happened on three nights last week. Storm Lake Police have filed fifth degree theft charges against a 16 and a 17 year old. The 16-year-old has also been charged in connection with a burglary to a vehicle that happened during the overnight hours of May 14th. The 16 year old has been transferred to a juvenile detention facility.

The 17 year old has been released to a parent. Police say the 17 year old was hospitalized after he was hit by an S-U-V early last Thursday morning. The driver of the S-U-V faces a number of charges, including assault with a dangerous weapon. Police say the S-U-V driver was a clerk at the gas station who saw the 17 year old shoplifting, got into his S-U-V, chased the teen, ran onto a sidewalk and hit him, then fled the scene.
