The SUV sped in and out of traffic until it exited on Mound Road, but suddenly veered left over the grassy shoulder and back onto I-696.

The SUV eventually stopped a short distance later and was surrounded by officers with their guns drawn.

Police said the SUV is stolen and the suspects are minors -- who are not cooperating.

Detroit police Sgt. Michael Woody said Michigan State Police helped lead the pursuit on the interstate and other agencies, including Detroit police, followed in support. Detroit police chased the vehicle for miles.

"During the chase there were several vehicles that were side-swiped," said Woody. "No injuries that were reported."

"We are currently searching that area (I-696 and Woodward Avenue) to try and recover whatever object that was," he said.
