University police arrested two runaways at Prince Farms, 2830 N. Freeway, after officers noticed the juveniles crawling under a fence at the perimeter of the facility.

The two initially gave officers false names, but later provided their real ones. Computer checks revealed the two were reported missing from a local halfway house.

The youths were arrested on charges of second degree criminal trespassing, providing false information to law enforcement, and being runaway juveniles.

They were transported to Pima County Juvenile Court Center.


A UA employee called police Friday after her car was stolen from Lot 2029 on the corner of North Warren Avenue and East Mabel Street.

None of the residents dialed a telephone code, such as *69, to trace the calls, police reports stated.

Officers advised the residents to trace the phone call if the person calls again.
