Three Teens Apprehended After Pursuit
ADA TOWNSHIP, Mich: KCSO deputies received a report of a stolen vehicle in the 500 Block of Village Springs Dr SE around 6:30 AM. Sometime before then, suspects were able to steal a black Ford SUV with the keys left in it. Just before 7:15 AM, KCSO deputies spotted it along Lake Eastbrook BLVD and attempted to stop the stolen SUV. The vehicle fled northbound on the East Beltline Ave. The SUV ran a red light at Burton St and struck a westbound Ford Taurus causing it to roll over.
Five suspects fled the stolen car and one was spotted by deputies as possibly armed. Deputies got the driver of the Taurus out and summoned medical assistance. It is expected that the non-at-fault 25-year-old Grand Rapids man will be treated and released from the hospital. A KCSO K9 Team and two Michigan State Police K9 Teams assisted in tracking the fleeing suspects. One suspect was apprehended by a civilian nearby and turned over to police. Two more were apprehended by police with a loaded handgun being located on one juvenile (ages 14, 15, & 18). Two suspects remain outstanding at this time.
To date, the KCSO has investigated 187 stolen vehicle complaints. In the same time period last year, 178. In 2022, KCSO had 358 stolen vehicles in total. We continue our attempt to curb these thefts and bring resolution to the many victims of these crimes. Please help us out by keeping your cars locked and keys inside your home.
