At 1:54 PM on Thursday, June 25, multiple black male subjects entered the Sprint Store located at 1111 South Washington Avenue. Once inside they immediately began stealing merchandise from the area open to customers as well as the back inventory area. No weapons were seen or implied by the suspects. The suspects were in the store for a very short period of time and upon exiting were seen getting into a newer white Chevy Impala that was parked nearby. The vehicle was seen leaving South on South Washington Avenue.
A short time later a Deputy from the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department spotted the possible suspect vehicle going East on I-196 near M-6 headed towards the Grand Rapids area. The vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed during heavy traffic conditions and after a brief pursuit was terminated.
