Police say the initial call came in around 9 p.m. from an Amazon fulfillment center on 68th Street SE. The caller reported that people were stealing from vehicles in the parking lot.
Responding deputies saw a silver car driving around the lot while two people opened unlocked car doors. When deputies attempted to make contact, the car fled the scene and the two people on foot ran off. Police say one was seen holding a firearm.
The two suspects who ran on foot were later found and taken into custody. They have been identified as a 16-year-old Grand Rapids boy and an 18-year-old Wyoming man.
