RP observed 2 younger looking males wearing all back running north towards Chili Ave. Deputies arrived and observed a blue Hyundai Elantra parked on the street with the rear right window smashed out. The ignition was damaged. It was quickly determined the vehicle was stolen out of the City of Rochester hours prior.
