Police in the Grosse Pointes believe the pop bottle bombs discovered overnight Thursday to Friday and early Friday morning were the work of teenagers who looked up recipes online. Police in Grosse Pointe Woods and Shores issued community alerts early Friday warning residents that if they spotted one to stay far away and to call police immediately.

Grosse Pointe Shores Department of Public Safety is urging residents to report anything deemed suspicious in the moment rather than waiting, which will be more helpful and have potential to help officers interrupt one of the crimes.

Detective Lt. Scott Rohr said the key factor in reporting suspicious circumstances is time. Reports made immediately allow officers to potentially interrupt the suspicious activity and determine what exactly is happening, whereas waiting to report something or …

Two men St. Clair Shores police believe are responsible for robbing an 85-year-old woman a parking lot were arrested Monday night after a multi-city pursuit spanning Grosse Pointe Shores to Grosse Pointe Park.
Grosse Pointe Shores, Park, Farms and City police officers assisted Monday night in a pursuit down Lake Shore Road that ended with the arrest of two men believed to be responsible for robbing an 85-year-old woman in the parking lot of a St. Clair Shores Kroger. The pursuit was not particularly fast but rather at a reasonable speed, Shores Det. Sgt. Scott Rohr said. The public safety risk was that the driver of the car repeatedly drove off the roadway onto lawns and sidewalks to avoid being caught by police, he said. It all started shortly before 7 p.m. when St. Clair Shores police issued a radio call to area departments alerting them to a robbery at the Kroger on 9 Mile and Greater Mack Avenue. St. Clair Shores police shared information …
