Police Bust Teen 'Crime Wave'

Police in Washtenaw and Monroe Counties believe they ended a crime wave with the arrest of four teenagers.

Investigators say numerous vehicles were broken into over the past twenty-four hours, but came to an end when one of the teens tried to use a stolen credit card at a Milan, Michigan motel. 

Four different police departments were involved in the investigation, with one 18-year-old and three juveniles being picked up.

The thieves took GPS units and other electronic items, as well as loose change found in the vehicles.
