BYRON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The suspect in a vehicle theft in southern Kent County was captured Wednesday night thanks to the help of neighbors and a Sheriff's Office drone.
Deputies responded to an area near 100th Street and US-131 around 11 p.m. on September 18 for a complaint of a stolen car. They found the car empty, but a witness told deputies the driver walked off into the woods.
A drone with infrared imaging helped locate the suspect sitting in another car nearby. Deputies took the man into custody.
