Dearborn issues 48 arrests, 310 citations for fireworks violations during Fourth of July weekend
The City of Dearborn, Michigan, reports it issued 48 arrests and 310 citations during its "zero tolerance" enforcement of fireworks rules during the Fourth of July weekend. More than 50 law enforcement officers were on duty each night between July 3 and July 5, with the intention to enforce restrictions that "ensure a safe and legal holiday," they said. Those involved include full-time officers, reserve officers, interns and support staff. While there is a July 4th holiday exemption in Michigan that allows fireworks during certain hours from June 29 to July 5, there are still rules to follow during that time frame. Those rules include: No fireworks on public property such as city parks or sidewalks. Anyone setting off fireworks must be age 18 or older. Any fireworks debris has to land on private property, not on someone else's yard or home. A series of announcements and videos on social media helped get the department's messages out. "It was a much quieter season than I've seen in previous years," Police Chief Issa Shahin said on social media after the first night of special enforcement. "This year's fireworks enforcement initiative was a clear success," he said once the weekend wrapped up. "The significant reduction in fireworks-related violations is a direct result of the hard work and professionalism of our officers, and the outstanding cooperation of our residents. I want to personally thank our team for their tireless dedication and thank the community for working with us to keep Dearborn safe."

Dearborn Police Department The Lamborghini Huracán that was on the road near Ford and Evergreen at the time of the firearms incident happened to be rented by the driver.

Ford Worker Accused of Stealing Millions of Dollars Worth of Parts from Plants
It so happens that occasionally a worker gets busted for theft that occurs in the workplace, but it's the scale of this next incident that makes it an eye-popping scenario. Four individuals have been charged in a theft ring that allegedly saw millions in car parts lifted from several Michigan Ford factories, and one of them was a Ford employee.

After a monthslong investigation, authorities arrested the men for allegedly stealing Ford vehicle parts – and it wasn't something easily snuck out of a building. The accusations say that the thieves took everything from headlights and assemblies to larger items like bumpers, hoods and running boards. Investigators say the parts were lifted from the Flat Rock Assembly, Michigan Assembly, and the Dearborn Truck Plant – factories which build popular models like the F-150, Mustang and Ranger. Reports say the employee referenced would take the stolen parts to Detroit auto shops where they'd then be sold on eBay. Searches of the alleged thieves' homes also yielded what was described as floor to ceiling stacks of brand-new auto parts. According to the Detroit Free Press, Ford's security team has been assisting in the investigation, although it's not yet clear how the alleged perpetrators were able to move such large parts out of so many different locations without being detected sooner. Carscoops reports that charges are still pending, but there are a bevy of options for what they might include, such as racketeering, grand theft auto and running a criminal enterprise. Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin said that criminal plots such as this one 'will not be tolerated in Dearborn' and that the police department would 'employ all resources to bring them down.'
