Around 11:42 p.m., a scout was dispatched to W. 7 Mile Road and Telegraph for an armed robbery in progress.
At the scene, the 43-year-old female victim told police she was driving her Toyota Camry south on Houghton from Vassar, when she was rear-ended by three people inside an older model Chevy Impala.
