Teens Arrested After High-Speed Chase in Menominee County, Michigan

A dramatic pursuit in Menominee County, Michigan, led to the arrest of two teenage suspects involved in a series of vehicle thefts across the border in Wisconsin.

The incident unfolded on Thursday, January 16, when local authorities were alerted that a stolen vehicle, connected to a gas drive-off in Marinette, Wisconsin, had been located in Menominee.

Officers attempted to pull over the vehicle, but the driver fled, triggering a high-speed chase that ended near a residence in Menominee Township.

The suspects, two males, fled into nearby woods, one of whom was armed. A coordinated search involving police dogs and drones led to the quick arrest of a 15-year-old suspect.

The second teen, who was located through drone surveillance, sustained self-inflicted injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

The pursuit involved multiple agencies, including the Menominee and Marinette city police, Michigan State Police, and emergency responders.

Authorities confirmed that there was no immediate danger to the public, and the investigation is ongoing.
