KENTWOOD, Mich. -- A suspect is expected in court Monday charged in connection with an alleged ring of cell phone store break-ins.
Kentwood police say this all started when a group of five suspects broke into a store in St. Joseph Friday morning, stealing as much as $10,000 in cell phones around 3:30 a.m. Friday.
The group allegedly then tried to break-in to a cell phone store near 32nd and Breton. Investigators say a tip led them to Pheasant Ridge apartments near 32nd and Breton in Kentwood, where the suspects were found.
All of them tried to run away even trying to jump into a nearby creek. We're told one adult and two juveniles were arrested, but two people are still at large.
The Kent County Sheriff says there were also break-ins reported at cell phone stores in Grandville and Walker but it is not clear if all the thefts are connected.
If you know anything, call police.
