Wednesday evening, the Kent County Sheriff's Office arrested five teenagers from the City of Grand Rapids in connection with a stolen vehicle and using stolen credit cards.
This investigation began when an off-duty detective observed suspicious activity in the Meijer store in Gaines Township. When on-duty detectives and deputies arrived, they located the teenagers in a white passenger car. In attempt to escape, the stolen car rammed detectives' vehicles and the suspects ran away on foot. With the community's help and the assistance of the Kentwood Police Department, deputies were able to locate and arrest all five suspects. The suspect ages ranged from 16 to 20 years old.
The case will be be reviewed by the Kent County Prosecutor's Office.
