Police say the 24-year-old Detroit man robbed a bank at 11 Mile and Southfield in Lathrup Village early Friday afternoon. When officers tried to pull him over, the suspect led them on a chase near I-696 and the Southfield freeway.

The chase came to a quick end when the suspect made a wrong turn into the parking lot of the Southfield Civic Center where the Southfield police department is  located.

Police say the man even used a Sharpie marker to draw a mustache and beard on his face to help disguise himself from investigators.
