Vehicle puts hole in building on Detroit's west side

A spokesperson with the Detroit Police Department confirmed that they responded to an alarm at the Save a Lot just after 5 a.m. this morning.

Police say that they are searching for three suspects who burglarized the business. It's unknown at this time what exactly the suspects allegedly stole.

The owner of the Save a Lot told us this happened around 4:30 a.m. at the Save A Lot on 8 mile Rd and Pierson St.

That owner tells us that their security footage shows three suspects: one in the U Haul and two in another vehicle. He says that the driver of the U-Haul went forward into the building, hit the cart corral and then reversed back into the building.

The manager of the U-Haul on Telegraph confirmed that the U-Haul was stolen off their lot early this morning.

All the suspects left the scene when they made a hole in the building on the second attempt. The owner believes the suspects were trying to access money in the ATM right where they crashed into the building, but no one entered the building.

The owner tells us the business is closed today. They estimate it will cost thousands of dollars to fix.
