PRESS RELEASE
Multiple Stolen Vehicles Recovered
Kalamazoo, MI:
On January12th 2022, Kalamazoo Public Safety responded to an incident in the 4400 block of S Westnedge Ave where a stolen pickup truck from Calhoun County was recovered. On January 13th around 2:00 am, Public Safety responded to the report of a crashed vehicle in the 400 block of W Kilgore that matched the description of another stolen vehicle. The vehicle was confirmed as stolen from Calhoun County. While setting up a police K9 search, a third stolen vehicle from Calhoun County was located in the 700 block of W Kilgore Ave that was running.
Upon contacting this vehicle, it fled, striking a KDPS police cruiser in the process. A vehicle pursuit was initiated but later terminated as the suspect vehicle was disregarding traffic control devices making the risk to the general public too great. The third stolen vehicle was soon after located near the intersection of Bryant and Portage Rd, unoccupied. Another police K9 track was attempted but did not locate the suspect.
In total, three stolen vehicles from Calhoun County were located and recovered.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Kalamazoo Public Safety at (269)337-8139 or Silent Observer at (269)343-2100 or www.kalamazoosilentobserver.com.
