Prince
Two Broward County men and a 15-year-old boy were arrested early Tuesday in connection to a string of car thefts, Boca Raton police said.
A joint effort by multiple police agencies led to the arrests of Anthonee Boggs, 19, Pompano Beach; Tryell Prince, 18, of Oakland Park; and the 15-year-old. The Palm Beach Post is not naming the juvenile because he has not been charged as an adult.

Police say the three were involved in the theft of four vehicles, including three from a residential neighborhood near Palmetto Park Road, east of the Intracoastal Waterway. The trio allegedly split up in a coordinated effort to steal cars.
At about 2:20 a.m. Tuesday, investigators tracked a white Cadillac that was allegedly stolen in Broward County and driven to Palm Beach County. A sheriff’s office helicopter crew conducting surveillance reported that three subjects were stealing cars in the area of East Boca Raton Boulevard.
Police say the suspects stole a white Toyota Tundra, a blue BMW and white Mercedes-Benz. Prince was spotted by the wheel of the Mercedes and arrested moments later, police said. Boggs alleged tried to get into the BMW as it fled the scene. He was stopped and taken into custody.
Police tracked the BMW to an address in Delray Beach and found the juvenile hiding behind a house, an arrest report said.
