COOPERSVILLE, Mich. — A burglary turned into a car chase, then a crash, then another chase— this time on foot— early Monday morning.
The four suspects broke through the front door during the overnight hours. The owner told FOX 17 they took several high-end items before driving away.
Ottawa County deputies report trying to stop the— what turned out to be— stolen vehicle on I-96 near Coopersville, but they drove off eastbound, crashing as they tried to get off at the 16th Ave ramp near Marne.
All four suspects ran away, hiding out at a nearby Methodist Church.
After a short search with help from Michigan State Troopers, Kent County Sheriff’s Office, and Walker Police, they were found in an outbuilding on the property and arrested.
The suspects have been identified as a 19-year-old, two 18-year-olds and a 16-year-old, all from the Grand Rapids area. Their names have not been released.
