When police arrived, they found a car with four passengers at the scene, but one person ran away as officers approached.
Deputies later discovered the car was stolen out of the City of Wyoming.
A K9 unit was able to track down two other suspects hiding in the woods. A third suspect was also found and surrendered to deputies nearby.
In all, the Sheriff's Office arrested two 16-year-old boys, two 14-year-old boys, one 15-year-old girl, and a 16-year-old girl, who are each from Grand Rapids.
