by Paul Rivera, KOMO News ReporterFILE - This photo shows a Federal Way Police Department car.

According to the Federal Way Police Department, around 4:10 a.m., patrol officers were dispatched to an alarm at a Verizon cell phone tower on the 2100 block of South 324th Street. While there, officers saw two people running through the fenced area around the tower and chased them, police said. Officers caught one suspect but lost sight of the other, who they believe "doubled back and stole a patrol car that was unoccupied, engine running and unlocked," police added.

The damaged vehicles, with smashed windows, were parked throughout the city in various parking lots when they were hit Saturday night and into Sunday morning. In each case, police described the suspects as five juveniles in a stolen car.
