Two men, Keyvon West, 18, and Nicholas Dalton, 20, were arrested by detectives from the Violent Crimes Division and Auto Theft Unit, with assistance from the MNPD Aviation Unit, for driving stolen vehicles and possessing a stolen handgun. The incident occurred when a stolen white 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee, taken from Hallbrook Court with the keys left inside, was used to pick up the driver of a stolen black 2018 Jeep Compass on Fenway Loop, which bore a fake temporary tag.
Keyvon West, the driver of the Compass, joined Nicholas Dalton in the Grand Cherokee before both men fled on foot in the Hickory Club Drive area. They were apprehended in the breezeway of an apartment building on Bell Road. During the arrest, West dropped a black backpack containing a stolen handgun and various stolen debit and credit cards. The Canik 9mm handgun had been stolen in a vehicle burglary earlier that week.
