Police: Man Caught Taking Wheels at Golling Chrysler in Bloomfield Township

Bloomfield Township police arrested the suspect from Farmington Hills after a citizen reported suspicious activity in the parking lot earlier this week.

The man that Bloomfield Township police suspect of stealing tires from new cars parked in the Golling Chrysler Dealership lot is free on bond while awaiting his next court date.

Andrew Lee Marculewicz, 24, posted a $10,000 bond and was released from the Oakland  County Jail on Tuesday, jail records show. He is scheduled to appear in 48th District Court for a preliminary hearing next week.

Marculewicz is charged with one count of larceny from auto, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, upon conviction. Bloomfield Township police officers arrested him at about 5 a.m. Sunday in the Golling Chrysler parking lot after they responded to a 9-1-1 call from a witness who said he saw a man dressed in all black, wearing a hood and face mask, rolling a tire across the parking lot, a news release stated.
