LIVONIA, Mich.–Three people are in custody following the robbery of a credit union here that eventually led to a dramatic rollover accident by the alleged getaway car that was captured on police video.
The three suspects — a man and two women — were captured after the accident in the area of M-14 and Ford Road, police said.
One male suspect who was driving the car, jumped out after the rollover and was struck by another vehicle, not a police vehicle, according to the Livonia Police Department spokesman. He was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
According to police, a man wearing a mask walked into a branch of Community Financial Credit Union, jumped onto a counter and while holding a pistol announced a holdup. He left on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash and no getaway vehicle was seen, police said.
Livonia Police said that an officer later spotted a man who resembled the robber driving a white car in the area of Farmington and Schoolcraft roads, police said. The driver fled from police westbound on I-96 and traveled to M-14. As the driver tried to exit at Ford Road, he lost control and the vehicle rolled over, police said.
Two guns were also recovered from one of the suspects, police added.
