Seven stolen Camaros lead police on high-speed chase

In a story seemingly ripped from the pages of a Hollywood screenplay, a small fleet of Chevy Camaros were stolen from right under GM's nose and led police on a high-speed chase across several Michigan townships. The heist began early Monday morning at GM's Lansing Grand River Assembly plant, where thieves made off with as many as seven of Chevrolet's modern muscle cars.

As the Detroit Free Press reports, the stolen cars were headed toward the greater Detroit area along I-96 when police gave chase near Brighton. The group split up in to smaller factions of two to four cars, according to a social media post by Michigan State Police's Metro Detroit division.

Local agencies from four different jurisdictions also joined the pursuit as the Camaros sped through the townships of Lyon, Wixom, Novi and Farmington Hills. Police reported speeds in excess of 100 mph. A helicopter and drones were also called in to follow the cars.
