PENTWATER, Mich. (WOOD) - Two people are in jail accused of crashing a stolen pickup truck through the entrance of a business and stealing numerous items.

Travis William Malone, 18, from Ludington was arrested shortly after the crime and charged with breaking and entering a building with intent (a 10-year felony). His bond is $50,000.

The search for the second suspect ended Tuesday in Ludington when a felony warrant for breaking and entering with intent and being a habitual offender was served. He is also facing outstanding warrants in Mason County where he is currently in jail. He will be transferred to Oceana County and arraigned there for the break-in.

The suspects stole the red Ford F-250 pickup truck in Ludington in Mason County around 3:44 a.m. Saturday, the Ludington Daily News reports.

Then the suspects crashed into The Wishing Well, 9580 U.S. 31 in Pentwater in Oceana County, around 5 a.m. Sunday, police told 24 Hour News 8.

The incident was seen on the business' surveillance camera. Watch the video above to see the crime unfold.

At :35, the video shows the suspects crash into the store. One of the the suspects got out of the truck and stole alcohol. Then the video shows him stuffing cigarettes into the pockets of his hooded sweatshirt. The other suspect then drove the truck out of the store, and the other suspect walked out. Further along in the video, one of the suspects is seen coming back into the store to steal more bottles of alcohol.

The suspects then fled the scene before police responded to the burglary alarm.
