The men admitted to stealing items from vehicles and stealing a minivan following their arrest. The following information is gathered from the Grosse Pointe Farms Public Safety Department. Arrests do not indicate conviction.
Detectives believe the two men arrested by Grosse Pointe Farms overnight are responsible for more than 20 crimes spanning about two weeks, Director Dan Jensen said. The men were arrested overnight in connection with a series of thefts, according to a release published at 2:26 a.m. Jensen said a patrol officer spotted the men--ages 17 and 18--walking on the street. When he approached and talked with them, they began acting nervous and their stories did not make sense, Jensen said. They told the officer they did not know each other's last names, where they were or where they were headed, Jensen said. This led the officer to investigate further and during a pat down for weapons, he found several stolen items such as cell phones, Jensen said…
