A 17-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of stealing a car early Saturday morning.
Lincoln Police Capt. Don Scheinost said police got a call around 1:45 a.m. from the car’s owner, saying his 2014 Chevy Cruise had been stolen from in front of his home in the 1500 block of Sumner Street.
Scheinost said the vehicle was unlocked, and there may have been a key in the center console.

By the time an officer arrived, the car owner was on the phone with OnStar security company, which was able to locate his car north of the 1300 block of Peach Street. OnStar disabled the vehicle, making it undriveable.
The officer and car owner went to Peach Street, and when the owner pressed the panic button on his key, horns went off in a nearby garage.
Police knocked on the door of the residence where the suspect's grandmother answered the door, Scheinost said. The missing car was found in the garage, blocked by a mattress.Â
