The teenage boys' names are being withheld due to their age.

Police said two officers were on patrol when they saw two teens, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old, operating motorcycles in a reckless manner on Commerce Street. Officers tried to stop the boys, who police attempted to flee the scene on the motorcycles.
