GLOUCESTER COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) - Gloucester County sheriff’s deputies have arrested two teens in connection to multiple crimes in the Gloucester County area.

According to Capt. Ryan Cookson with the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office, Holden Michael Patrick, 18, and Aaron Sekou Starks, 18, both of Gloucester, are facing several charges stemming from crimes dating back to July.

On Aug. 20,  deputies responded to the Powhatan Chimney subdivision for a report of two people that seemed to be trying to break into vehicles. At the same time, deputies received a call for a burglary in the 6700 block of Powhatan Drive. A vehicle was said to have been stolen from the home.

Cookson said the stolen vehicle was located on the York County side of the Coleman Bridge and a pursuit ensued with York County deputies. The vehicle was later stopped behind Yorktown Middle School, where three suspects ran.

Patrick was apprehended by the York County Sheriff’s Office and the stolen vehicle was recovered.

Further investigation revealed Starks as a second suspect and both Starks and Patrick were linked to the following crimes, according to deputies:

• Larceny from a vehicle between July 30 and Aug. 16
• Larceny from several vehicles on Aug. 8
• Residential burglary and larceny of a vehicle on Aug. 20

Both have been charged with burglary, four counts of grand larceny, grand larceny of a firearm and grand larceny of an automobile. More charges are expected as Starks and Patrick have been linked to other crimes, Cookson said.

The case remains under investigation.
