KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Knoxville Police Department arrested three individuals, including two juveniles, Sunday after a stolen car was found at a local Walmart.
The trio faces charges for auto theft and weapons violations after officers discovered two loaded handguns and a .40 caliber drum magazine inside the vehicle, KPD reported.
Police were called to the Walmart on Kinzel Way just before 6 p.m. after a man spotted his father’s stolen car parked on site.
