Overview
- A friend on a FaceTime call witnessed the ambush Thursday night and called 911, bringing officers to a home on the 44000 block of Wear Road while the robbery was still in progress.
- Police say four men armed with rifles and handguns ambushed residents, pistol‑whipped and handcuffed a victim, and demanded money, firearms and valuables.
- Officers and partner agencies used drones, K‑9 teams and Michigan State Police aviation to search nearby woods and quickly arrest three suspects.
- Sumpter Township resident Jason Doyle spotted a man leaving the woods Friday morning, helped police track down the fourth suspect and a getaway driver, and all four are now in custody.
- Investigators have the FaceTime video and other evidence and are wrapping up the probe for the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office to decide charges as local officials push to put a public safety millage back on the November ballot.
