WYOMING, Mich. — Police in Wyoming are investigating a burglary at a Verizon store on 28th Street.
According to a release from the Wyoming Department of Public Safety, officers responded to an alarm call around 3:15 a.m. at the Verizon store located at 1633 28th St. SW.
When police got on scene, officers discovered the glass to the front of the store was smashed in and suspect's got away with "minimal property."
In another unspecified area, just before the alarm went off an officer pulled over a car for "suspicious activity." The car fled the stop but officers didn't start a chase.
Authorities continue to work the case and as the two situations merged, one minor was arrested at a Wyoming home with a connection to both circumstances.
