DEARBORN — Four people were arrested after a break-in in the area Outer Drive and Cherry Hill April 1.
Officers were dispatched the a house where a neighbor witnessed three men wearing hooded sweatshirts leave through the kitchen window. They fled by running through backyards in the neighborhood.
Police dispatch informed officers that the suspects were riding bicycles. When approached the suspects jumped off their bicycles and attempt to run.
After a short foot chase, officers were able to arrest the trio — one adult and two juveniles — and a third juvenile male shortly after.
During their investigation, police discovered the suspects were also connected to multiple larcenies occurring overnight.
Lawrence Kellerman, 17 of Dearborn Heights was the adult male charged with second degree home invasion and receiving and concealing stolen property.
He was video arranged April 4 by 34th District Court Judge William Szlinis and given a $10,000 bond for the charges.
