GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids police responded to several overnight break-ins in the area.

On arrival, officers found glass broken out of the front door and the back door was standing open.

Police say two individuals used a brick to break out windows and took the brick with them when they fled.

Merchandise was taken from the store.

No suspects were found.

Then, at about 1:10 a.m., officers responded to an alarm at the Sharpe Auto Group – Jaguar/Land Rover in the 1000 block of 28th St. SE, finding the back door smashed in with a brick.

This time, the business was secure, but police say there was evidence of an attempted break-in.

Kentwood police said a white car had been seen leaving the lot westbound when they arrived in the area.

It’s unclear if this incident was related to the first two.

Investigators are still working the case.
