Detroit police have two teens in custody relating to a crime spree that involved at least one carjacking and a crash that injured an innocent family.
It started around 12 p.m. when they allegedly carjacked a grandmother at a gas station near Fenkel and Greenfield.
One of the victims tells 7 Action News the teens pushed her 85-year-old grandma out of the car. They took off in the 2016 Chevy Tahoe, but police found it a short time later.
That's when they received a tip the suspects were in a Ford Focus. Police went on a short pursuit with the teens that ended in a crash near Plymouth and Hubbell. The suspects crashed into two vehicles and then took off on foot. They were eventually caught.
The community actually helped police catch the suspects. A witness used Facebook Live and helped chase down the suspects and called police. Viewers on the woman's Facebook live helped keep her updated on the suspects' whereabouts.
"The community really came together for this," she said. "I am so excited, I just want to congratulate the community, because it's because of them, not because of me, it is because of the community, we worked together for this."
