Stolen ATV Chase Ends at Stellantis CTC Campus

A high-speed chase involving stolen four-wheelers ended early Tuesday morning (May 13) near Stellantis’ Chrysler Technical Center (CTC) in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

According to FOX 2 Detroit, the incident began around 3:20 a.m. when Michigan State Police (MSP) were alerted to stolen ATVs spotted on I-75. Auburn Hills Police notified troopers after seeing the suspects riding the ATVs near the Stellantis North American Headquarters.

The pursuit continued down I-75 southbound until the suspects veered off the highway and into the wooded area surrounding the CTC campus. That’s when the chase escalated.

By sunrise, roughly 20 police vehicles had Chrysler Drive blocked off as officers from MSP, Auburn Hills Police Department, and the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office joined forces in the search. Troopers were able to arrest two of the three suspects, while the third managed to flee on foot into the dense woods surrounding the facility.

Given the presence of a nearby pond on the CTC property, police deployed K9 units and even a boat to search for the remaining individual. By 10:30 a.m., the police presence began to scale back, but the third suspect’s status remains unknown at this time.

Several Stellantis employees took to social media to report intense police activity on campus. They described a swarm of law enforcement vehicles around the facility during the early hours of the workday.

The two arrested suspects are being held in connection with an ongoing larceny investigation. MSP confirmed that the ATVs were reported stolen from Groveland Township, about 30 miles north of the CTC.

As of now, the case remains active, and the search for the third suspect continues.
