“The alleged actions of these juveniles are not just illegal but also incredibly dangerous. This level of criminal activity is unacceptable, and we intend to treat it with the severity it deserves. That's why we are seeking to charge these juveniles as adults—because when you commit adult crimes, you face adult consequences," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said in a statement.
