Police in Grand Rapids recovered two stolen cars early Monday morning.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Police in Grand Rapids arrested two people for stealing a vehicle after crashing a BMW into a tree early Monday morning. 

According to Grand Rapids Police Department spokesperson Raul Alvarez, it happened around 2:45 a.m. on Norwich Avenue SW, in the area of Hayden Street SW, in the Black Hills neighborhood. 

A caller told police that the BMW crashed into the tree and then three people got out and ran from the scene.

No one was injured in either crash incident, Alvarez explained.
