On Sunday, three teenage boys accused of stealing cars from a Clearwater dealership died in a high speed crash. This comes in the wake of a growing trend of teen car thefts in Pinellas County.
In 2015, police in Pinellas arrested juveniles 499 times for grand theft auto - more than any other county in Florida.
Zack Sampson and colleagues from the Tampa Bay Times have been following this issue for the past year.
WUSF's Daylina Miller talks to him about the paper's investigation, which included interviews with 16-year-old Deyon Kaigler, one of the teens involved in Sunday's incident.
