7/24/14 - Four suspects sought by the Novi police were captured by Livingston County law enforcement agents yesterday afternoon. Police in Novi put out a broadcast at about 4pm, telling nearby police agencies they were on the lookout for four suspects, two men and two women, who they believe were involved in retail fraud at a department store. Less than half an hour later their vehicle was spotted by Brighton Police headed west on I-96. A traffic stop was made, and the suspects pulled over near the Latson Road exit. Livingston Central Dispatch reports about half a dozen police cars, including those from other departments, convened on the site of the traffic stop. Brighton Police Chief Tom Wightman says that is not surprising, since local agencies often collaborate when a felony traffic stop is made. They held the suspects at the scene until Novi police were able to collect them. The four are now being held in Novi pending charges. Wightman says local authorities were not advised as to the nature of the alleged crimes for which the suspects were wanted. (TD)
