Two children were found by police approximately one hour later, investigators said. No serious injuries were reported but the vehicle sustained damage.
Police said the youths were turned over to their parents, and it was later learned the vehicle had been taken without parental knowledge or consent.
No charges have been laid because the youths are below the age of criminal responsibility, police said.
