Police identified the vehicle down as a rental from Florida and with the help of Troy police, the rental was found in Rochester Hills. Detectives then followed a different vehicle that left the home and saw the same suspects breaking into vehicles in Rochester Hills in the early morning of March 15.

Police said the two suspects were arrested and the stolen items were recovered. This arrest led to a search warrant being executed in Rochester, where three more suspects were detained and police found more stolen property and the silver Mazda.

Danarius Travon Young, a 28-year-old from Florida, Chauncey Javon Franklin, a 21-year-old from Florida, and Kayln Marie Croom, a 34-year-old from Tennessee, were arranged on Tuesday, March 19.

The three were all charged with conducting criminal enterprises, conspiracy to commit possession of burglar’s tools, conspiracy to commit identity theft, three counts of conspiracy to commit breaking and entering a vehicle with damage, three counts of conspiracy to commit stealing a financial transaction device and four counts of conspiracy to commit malicious destruction of property.
