Police swarm stolen car riddled with bullets in residential Hollywood neighborhood

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. ā€“ A silver Hyundai riddled with bullets came to a sudden stop along a residential road in Hollywood on Wednesday afternoon.

Witnesses said inside that vehicle were a group of teens who gave obvious signs that they were up to no good.

ā€œI heard them say, ā€˜The car is stolen, we need to get out of the car before the police get here,ā€™ but they just stood there anyways,ā€ a witness told Local 10 Newsā€™ Terrell Forney.

Police swarmed the block on Thomas Street near North 57th Terrace, and officers noticed something else.

That same silver Hyundai had government-issued license plates.

ā€œUpon further investigation, it was revealed the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Pembroke Pines,ā€ said Hollywood Police Detective Danielly De Andrade. ā€œNo government employees were involved in this incident.ā€

The car was eventually towed away.

Police said at least one of the people inside the car was struck by a bullet.

Investigators believe the gunfire came from outside of the vehicle.

ā€œThe passenger, I think he got shot in the arm,ā€ said witness Steven Barias. ā€œHe was holding it and they put him in the ambulance.ā€
