Two Ypsilanti teenagers were arrested by Ypsilanti police Sunday, after allegedly stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from a downtown business.
According to a report released by the Ypsilanti Police Department, officers from the Michigan State Police, Eastern Michigan University Police and the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office responded to help arrest the suspects, who had fled from Puffer Reds with shoes and clothing after triggering the store’s alarm system.
The report said three officers were on foot patrol in the area when they heard the alarm sound from the closed clothing store at 9:30 p.m.
“The suspects ran on foot and tried to hide in a wooded area near the Huron River,” the report said.
