As the three suspects left the store on Friday, Loss Prevention tried to stop them with the stolen merchandise. That is when a woman wearing a white tank top allegedly sprayed Loss Prevention with pepper spray.
The suspects left in a black Acura sedan, the department said.
“Officers attempted to stop the vehicle; however, the vehicle fled from officers, driving recklessly in and out of traffic before continuing northbound on I-75,” said Miami Township Police. “Due to the reckless driving, a pursuit was not initiated. All three suspects are wanted for questioning regarding potential robbery charges.”
Contact Detective James Swearingen at (937) 433-2301 if you have any information about this incident.
