The four individuals were arraigned Thursday in a Sterling Heights District Court and each are being held on a $1 million dollar bond, according to the news release.

"This was a violent, coordinated attack against victims just going about their business at their own home," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said. "This bond reflects the importance we place on the safety of all Macomb County residents."

The men robbed the owner of a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat at gunpoint in Sterling Heights on Monday, and then led police in a high speed car chase, in which speeds escalated to over 100 mph, police said.

The chase ultimately involved police officers from Sterling Heights, Warren and the Michigan State Police, officials said.
