Kentucky teen couple Dalton Hayes, 18, and Cheyenne Phillips, 13, who made headlines recently for their "Bonnie and Clyde" style crime spree have been captured.
Police found Hayes and Phillips early in the morning of Jan. 18, Sunday in Florida. The two were spotted sleeping inside the 2001 Toyota Tundra, which they allegedly stole in Georgia. Based on police reports, they were taken into custody without incident, USA Today reported.
Tips that Hayes and Phillips might have been in Florida were sent to police on Jan. 16, Friday, when Henry County Police in Georgia told ABC News that they would continue to check local convenience stores in Georgia for possible surveillance footage despite the lack of evidence that the runaway teens were still there.
On Jan. 17, Saturday, Hayes and Phillips were reportedly seen in Alabama, Florida and Texas. While on the loose, forgery charges were awaiting them for allegedly passing a forged check. At the time, the police pointed out that the best place for the teen couple to be is "back home."
The Grayson County Sheriff's Office also said that Hayes could also face "several felony crimes" in Kentucky, Georgia and North Carolina. His mother Tammy Martin had previously urged him and his girlfriend to surrender and "face the consequences."
Earlier in January, Hayes and Phillips vanished from their small hometown in western Kentucky ad started their run from the law and from their families. They allegedly went on a crime spree across the South stealing cars and pilfering checks.
