One suspect got away, but another was detained by the owner of a vehicle targeted for larceny on Dec. 13, according to Oakland County Sheriff reports.
The incident occurred at the Park and Ride lot at Dixie Highway and I-75 in Springfield Township. The vehicle’s owner arrived at the lot (driven by his son) to see two suspects at his vehicle.
Taken from the owner’s van were numerous items of construction-related equipment, including a cement saw, cordless drill, air compressor and a tool pouch.
The victim detained one suspect, a 34-year-old Swartz Creek man, while his son called 9-1-1, reports said.
Deputies were awaiting formal warrants from the county prosecutor’s office.
