Teens arrested after driving off with gas pump attached to stolen car in Detroit, police say
The suspects were ages 13, 15, 17 and 17.
The pursuit began about 1:35 a.m. Friday, near 8 Mile Road and Ward Street, after troopers noticed a stolen Lincoln passenger car parked at a Marathon gas station fuel pump. When troopers turned on the cruiser's emergency lights, two people ran out of the car.
The driver sped off with the gas pump still attached to the car and one passenger still inside.
Additional state troopers arrived to give chase. The two suspects who had run through the neighborhood, including some backyards, were caught and taken into custody.
In the meantime, the Detroit Police Department located the car that had fled from the scene, arresting the driver and the passenger who remained inside.
All four were taken to the Detroit Police 12th Precinct for investigation of the stolen vehicle.
Because of their ages, Michigan State Police contacted Wayne County Juvenile Detention Center to see if they could be taken into custody. Those arrangements could not be made, and as a result, all four were turned over to their guardians.
Michigan State Police said they plan to submit a petition to Wayne County for a decision on charges.

Tesla profit plunges in latest quarter as Musk's turn to politics continues to keep buyers away
NEW YORK (AP) — The fallout from Elon Musk's plunge into politics a year ago is still hammering his Tesla business as both sales and profits dropped sharply again in the latest quarter. The car company that has faced boycotts for months said Wednesday that revenue dropped 12% and profits slumped 16% in the three months through June as buyers continued to stay away. Quarterly profits at the electric vehicle, battery and robotics company fell to $1.17 billion, or 33 cents a share, from $1.4 billion, or 40 cents a share. That was the third quarter in a row that profit dropped. Revenue fell from $25.5 billion to $22.5 billion in the April through June period, slightly above Wall Street's forecast.

Jimmie Johnson says he could run more NASCAR Cup races in 2026
Seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who has run only two Cup races this season, says 'there's a chance that I run more races next year.' One of those races, he hopes, will be the inaugural street race at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego next June. That event has special meaning for Johnson, who grew up in El Cajon, California, about 15 miles east of San Diego. NASCAR to race in San Diego in 2026: Here's what to know The NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series will race on a military base in 2026. Dustin Long, While San Diego would be a special place for Johnson to run his final Cup race next Father's Day (June 21), the co-owner of Legacy Motor Club said he still wants to race more in NASCAR's premier series even as he's set to turn 50 in September. 'I want to keep going,' Johnson said in response to a question from NBC Sports about his future plans. 'I want to stay in a car. I think it's good for us. 'We're hopeful to have a third charter. Need to start building a team. There's a chance that I run more races next year if we have a third charter on the docket and have a sponsor to bring along, team members to groom, a crew chief to get reps, a driver to get reps. There's a lot of scenarios that are in play. I'm hopeful I can keep going. 'I certainly don't want to feed you guys a line of BS here. There is also a scenario where (making San Diego his final Cup start) would make sense. We've put zero effort into the idea yet at this point. I have more years in me. I want to keep going.' San Diego fills one spot on 2026 NASCAR Cup schedule but questions remain NASCAR executive says the sport hears the debate from fans and competitors about the number of road course events on the schedule. Dustin Long, Legacy Motor Club hopes to have a third charter next year but that could depend on the court system. Legacy Motor Club has filed a lawsuit against Rick Ware Racing, alleging that Rick Ware Racing is backing out of an agreement signed in March to sell Legacy Motor Club a charter. Rick Ware Racing claims the wrong charter number is listed in the agreement. A trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 26, 2026. Legacy Motor Club filed a lawsuit July 16 against former Spire Motorsports co-owner T.J. Puchyr, who told The Associated Press in June that he had entered into an agreement to purchase Rick Ware Racing. Legacy Motor Club accuses Puchyr of tortious interference after he helped broker the deal between Legacy Motor Club and Rick Ware Racing. Erik Jones and John Hunter Nemechek are Legacy Motor Club's full-time drivers.
