Bizarre moment three Washington teens who stole Kia as part of TikTok challenge are found by cops hiding in locked PortaPotty after high-speed chase

A group of teenagers who stole a Kia as part of a TikTok challenge were found in a locked portable toilet after a high-speed chase where they crashed the car.

The incident took place in Thurston County, Washington on Wednesday and was captured on police cameras.

There were six people in the stolen car, including five teenagers, and police received reports of a collision. The driver was caught driving erratically and officers tried to pull him over.

But they tried to get away, reaching speeds of up to 70 mph on a 25 mph road. The driver, who police said was intoxicated, lost control and crashed.

They tried to continue driving, but officers made a sudden pit maneuver and stopped the vehicle. Three suspects sprinted out and were later found in a portable toilet.

Dashcam footage released by Thurston County Sheriff’s Office shows a police car chasing the stolen Kia.

It eventually overtakes the vehicle and the panicked driver loses control and crashes into the side of the road.

The group attempted to drive away, but a deputy sheriff performed a pit maneuver to stop the car. That sees the front of a police car hitting one of the rear tires of the car it’s chasing, sending the vehicle into a spin that usually stops it.

Another officer got out and approached the car, but the teens abandoned the Kia and ran away.

Bodycam footage shows how authorities are looking for the group in a wood depot with a police dog.

The animal is interested in a locked portable toilet and the officer shouts, “Hey, locked.”

He then says, “If you’re in there, come out now with both hands up.” We have a dog unit. We know you’re in.”

A female officer tells the teens, “We know you’re in,” and they eventually come out.

‘Hands, hands. “Everyone on their knees,” the male deputy says, pointing his gun at them, and another co-worker radios for support.

One of the teens complains about the gun and the cop replies, “You’re fleeing a stolen car, I’ll leave it pointed at you too.” Be quiet.’

All three suspects were subsequently arrested. A deputy asked how old they were, and a boy replied, “I’m only 17.”

Sheriff Derek Sanders told it KOMO News the chase started after a collision.

“Of course it’s very frustrating. It’s summer time, we have unsupervised children, bored children.’

He believes the teens stole the car as part of a “KIA Social Media Challenge.”

“It’s always really hard to balance,” Sanders said. “Are we going to chase the vehicle and have it crash into someone?”

No one was injured in the incident. Dailymail.com has contacted Thurston County Sheriff’s Office for comment.

Car thefts were fueled by a Tik Tok trend showing users how to steal Kia and Hyundai vehicles without basic security features.

Although the original challenge video was taken down, copycats came to the fore so far that TikTok has asked users to report any copies that were made.

Authorities have revealed that these thefts led to at least 14 reported crashes and eight fatalities.

Kia and Hyundai said in February they would provide free software solutions for 8.3 million vehicles to stem a spate of thefts inspired by the TikTok videos.
