[Hardware] Break-in at Holland area hardware precedes Ottawa County police pursuit and six arrests

[#Drennn.]

OTTAWA COUNTY, MI -- Police took six people into custody following a high-speed pursuit that ended in an eastern Ottawa County field and may be linked to a break-in at a Holland area hardware.

The pursuit happened about 3 a.m. Saturday, April 17 along eastbound Adams Street from I-196.

Some 30 minutes earlier, Allegan County sheriff’s deputies were investigating a break-in at Graafschap Hardware, 4578 60th St., where the front door was smashed out. It wasn’t clear if anything was taken.

Allegan County sheriff’s deputies initially began pursuing a car that eventually ended up in Ottawa County.

Ottawa County sheriff’s deputies assisted in the pursuit, which ended up in a field north of Adams Street and between 24th and 28th avenues.

People fled the car when it became disabled, but police set up a perimeter. They took six people, believed to be all of the occupants, into custody.
