Southfield police share auto theft prevention tips

BY KATHRYN PENTIUK

kpentiuk@candgnews.com

SOUTHFIELD — In response to the uptick in automobile thefts, Deputy Chief Aaron Huguley said that Southfield is not an anomaly.

In the past month, the city has had around 20 vehicles stolen.

“This is not a Southfield issue,” Huguley said. “It’s not even just a southeastern Michigan issue.

It’s a national issue. Auto thefts have been on the rise in recent years due to technology.”

Huguley explained that auto theft is a high-volume crime in Southfield due to the many apartment complexes and hotels within the city.

“Those properties’ parking lots are just open to the public.

They want to make it easy for their

guests to freely come and leave that property. And so car thieves go to these locations with a vast amount of cars. And, ultimately, they can just walk by a car and pull on the handle to see whether or not the door’s unlocked or the windows are down. And that’s indicative in

this time frame that we’re talking about. Of these 20 incidents, none of them were taken from homes.”

Huguley explained that most vehicles that are stolen tend to be used for other crimes or stripped for parts.

OAKLAND COUNTY — Last November, local residents approved the Oakland County Public Transportation Millage, which authorized the county to levy a millage for the purpose of funding transportation services throughout Oakland County.

Before the millage passed, each community in Oakland County could decide if it wanted to opt in or opt out of the public transportation system.

But with voters approving the millage, each community in Oakland County is now required to opt in.

Southfield Public Arts Commission unveils latest installation

BY KATHRYN PENTIUK kpentiuk@candgnews.com

SOUTHFIELD — You can’t miss it as you’re driving on either side of 11 Mile Road, east of Lahser Road. The 14-foot structure of handmade tiles mounted on a 4-foot base is an eye-catching kaleidoscope of vibrant colors and is Southfield’s newest wayfinder.

On June 12, the Southfield Public Arts Commission unveiled the city’s 25th installation, an obelisk presented by the Friends of Southfield Public Arts, a nonprofit dedicated to raising funds to support the efforts of the Southfield Public Arts Commission.

The public artwork presented by these groups is made possible through donations by those interested in promoting public art throughout the city.

The piece crafted by renowned Detroit artist Hubert Massey depicts Southfield’s diverse history, representing the Potawatomi tribe, whose name “Bodéwadmik” translates to “Keepers of the Fire” in the Ojibwe language; and the Mary Thompson farmhouse; as well as other cultural symbols that represent the city.

Massey was also commissioned to create the “Tapestry of a Community,” a six-piece mosaic mural located on Lawrence Technological University’s campus, along the nonmotorized Southfield City Centre Trail.

The new obelisk ties in to the previous piece with themes from Southfield’s history woven together with a colorful patterned ribbon that symbolizes the diverse cultures in metro Detroit. Massey was inspired by this idea of weaving cultures together when he observed a woman in the parking lot of the Center for Creative Studies. The woman was sitting with a child in her lap, threading a quilt with a pattern that represented the different cultures that lived in the community.

“I thought maybe whenever I do a piece,

OAK PARK/WEST BLOOMFIELD — Star Bakery, located in Oak Park, is scheduled to close July 2, according to a press release.

Due to the rising costs of labor and ingredients, and continued difficulties “left over from the pandemic,” the business could no longer remain viable, according to the release.

“Star Bakery, which was founded in 1915, was well known to generations of Detroiters for providing traditional Jewishstyle baked goods such as rye breads, challahs, rolls, rugelach, seven-layer cake and mandel bread,” the release states. “Now production of some of the bakery’s favorite recipes will continue at Diamond Bakery. There will be job losses, but it is hoped some positions will be transferred to Diamond Bakery.”

Star Bakery’s owners purchased Diamond Bakery, located on Orchard Lake Road in West Bloomfield, in 2021.

According to the release, Diamond Bakery will continue to sell some of Star Bakery’s favorite baked goods, including rugelach, kichel and mandel bread.

opted in prior to the millage passing paid 1 mill in taxes for public transportation services. With the millage having passed, those residents will now pay into a 0.95 mill collection, which is 95 cents for every $1,000 of taxable value of a home, for 10 years.

“Rather than vote community by community, the question was posed to the entire county,” Southfield Mayor Ken Siver said. “As you might imagine, how does a bus system operate if the bus route travels in a community that voted to support SMART and then drives through a community that didn’t support SMART to get to another community that does support the system? It was an awkward patchwork of in and out of SMART. No longer the case.”

A large chunk of public transportation services are provided by SMART — the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation.

However, the Western Oakland Transportation Authority, the North Oakland Transportation Authority and the Older Persons’ Commission are also public transportation service providers.

Dave Woodward, who is the chairman

of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, authored and sponsored the millage proposal.

He shared some updates on changes that have taken place since the millage passed.

“Since it’s passed we created the Oakland County Transit Office to help coordinate outreach (and) planning,” Woodward said. “The first promise of this millage was to ensure that all the four transit agencies that were providing services in Oakland County continue to receive (funding) for the next 10 years. … We ensured funding to maintain all the services that were in place, and we also asked if there was a way to improve service, like extending hours. It’s just a function of paying drivers to drive the vehicles longer.”

Woodward said that, on average, there is about 50% more funding for the transportation service providers to “expand capacity beyond what they were currently doing,” primarily in the form of extended hours and services for NOTA, WOTA and the OPC. “With SMART, we also laid out a top priority to make certain that we get extended routes as quickly as possible,” he said. “So, maintain what we had in place, but get new routes. … SMART has, over the last few weeks, began going through its required federal process. You have to have public hearings and get feedback before you do any

route extensions and changes, and people can go to the SMART website — people can submit feedback via email, letters or take part in some of the publicized community sharings that have been scheduled. So those are the big things, collectively.”

Woodward said that initial contracts are in place for additional funding for expanded service.

“(They are) three-year contracts with annual renewals,” he said. “The expansion of fixed-route processes (is) underway. I’m optimistic by this fall that we will be having fixed route service out to areas that have never had it before.”

Woodward expanded on his thoughts.

“We’re also in the process of identifying See TRANSIT on page 6A

where there’s additional gaps of service and who are the best people to do that,” he said.

“Is it a further expansion of the providers in place? Is it new partnerships with additional providers? We want a guarantee there’s a base level of service so that people can get to the places they need and want to go.”

Woodward would also like to leverage as many government resources as possible.

“From a state legislative policy perspective, we’re working really hard to make certain that state funding for local bus operating services — this is state funds that provide matching dollars for locally generated revenue like we are – we want to see that revenue increases, because, roughly, it’s like a 30% match of our public millage dollars,” he said. “That allows us to bring additional resources for further expansion of service, deployment of technology, and collectively leveraging these dollars to pull down even further federal funds for new vehicles.”

From Woodward’s perspective, three things required to make transit work are money, drivers for the public transportation vehicles and the actual vehicles.

The chip shortage affecting the auto-

mobile industry is having an impact on the availability of public transportation vehicles.

Woodward said that the “lead time” to order specialized Americans with Disabilities Act-equipped vehicles is long.

“You have to put your order in, and it takes six months, nine months, I’ve heard even 18 months from the point you put your order in to actually have a vehicle arrive,” he said.

Woodward said that there are some short-term gaps. “(There’s) some smaller transit vans that some of the providers use, and so (we) freed up some resources to make those available,” he said. “These smaller transit agencies, they don’t generally run the fixed route.

They have more of the curb-to-curb, doorto-door service. It’s supply-chain issues, (the) chip shortage — all of those things have complicated access to vehicles. I think we’ve cracked the nut, in terms of having resources available. Now we’ve just got to work out the logistics to be able to get the vehicles to increase capacity.”

Although the passage of the millage has helped with funding, Eli Cooper, Oakland County’s first transit manager, acknowledged that the challenge is getting vehicles and vehicle operators, in order to expand services.

Cooper spoke at a “Transit Tuesday Talk” event at the Baldwin Center in Pontiac last month.

“You can’t get on a bus if the buses aren’t coming out of the factory, and so, these are the kind of things we’re going to be working (on) as hard as we can to prepare the plans,” Cooper said. “We’re using the county’s millage resources to encourage the expansion.

It’s been a long, long time since we’ve seen expansion; we’re seeing it now because the county helped get the message out. We just need to see success breed success.”

Bernard Parker, who is SMART’s vice president of external affairs, also spoke at the “Transit Tuesday Talk” event.

“One of the things I learned about transit, unfortunately, is sometimes things don’t turn bad overnight; they won’t turn good overnight, either. It’s a process,” Parker said.

“You have to be patient with us, but you have to hold us accountable. “(Residents) voted overwhelmingly to expand, to have non opt-outs in Oakland County, so we either have to produce or get out of the way.”

Parker specifically addressed the shortage of public transportation system drivers.

“Post-COVID, (people) don’t want to go to work,” he said. “One of the things we’re trying to do at SMART is not only do more hiring, (but) more recruiting. … We

really are trying.”

Woodward addressed what is required to “meet the demand that we know is out there.”

“We need even more vehicles,” he said.

“Now those additional vehicles also need drivers. All those variables are working at the same time, and that’s why you need a transit manager and leadership at all these transit agencies working together. I’m optimistic about what we’re going to be able to accomplish in a year out. I think it’s important to keep in mind the dollars for this millage didn’t become available until February of this year.”

Woodward said that there won’t be fixed routes on every corridor in Oakland County, as it doesn’t make sense in areas that don’t have the density to support it. From his perspective, in some rural areas, curb-tocurb and door-to-door service is a more logical solution.

He was asked if there will be fixed routes in communities such as Orchard Lake, Sylvan Lake and Keego Harbor, all of which previously opted out of having public transportation services.

“Certainly, yeah,” Woodward said.

the fixed route, but also the paratransit. So if you have mobility issues and are within a certain distance of a fixed route, that, then, will come and pick you up on a scheduled time that the rider needs. Some additional routes are being talked about in that area.”

Bloomfield Hills is another city that previously opted out of the public transportation system.

Bloomfield Hills City Manager David Hendickson said Bloomfield Hills is currently working with the other entities involved to figure out where the city fits into the transit plans.

“We are going to try to utilize services for our residents to the best of our ability, but at the same time, we want to make sure anything that’s done is done in a safe way and that there’s nothing that’s going to cause any harm to our residents or businesses,” Hendickson said.

He said there are no updates as of now as they are in the early stages of planning.

“We understand it’s going to be a couple of years before there’s any impact or any infrastructure within our city,”Hendickson said. “So, we are just trying to understand

CITY OF SOUTHFIELD SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 1773 NOTICE The City of Southfield has amended TITLE VII, Building Regulations, Chapter 104, Vacant Property Registration, of the Code of the City of Southfield by deleting Chapter 104 and inserting in lieu thereof a new Chapter 104 Vacant Property Registration. A true copy of Ordinance No. 1773, in its complete content, may be inspected and obtained at the Southfield City Clerk’s Office, 26000 Evergreen Road, Southfield, MI 48076.

A summary of Ordinance No. 1773 is as follows SECTION 1.

Sec. 8.601. Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to help protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens by preventing blight, protecting property values and neighborhood integrity, avoiding the creation and maintenance of nuisances and ensuring safe and sanitary maintenance of dwellings, commercial and industrial buildings. Further, it is important for the city to be able to contact owners of vacant properties for property maintenance, fire safety and police purposes.

Sec. 8.602. Definitions.

Added and amended definitions of the following : Certificate of occupancy which is a document issued by the Building Official of the City of Southfield to permit the occupancy or use of land, buildings, or structures. And that the Certificate of Occupancy can be issued only upon the determination by the Zoning Administrator and the Building Official that the site is in compliance with the provisions of these regulations, the requirements of the adopted city Building and Construction Codes, Ordinances, Property Maintenance Codes, and adopted city standards, and that all outstanding city fees or other charges have been paid.

Evidence of vacancy means any condition that provides a location for loitering, vagrancy, unauthorized entry, criminal activity, or on its own or combined with other conditions present would lead a reasonable person to believe the property is vacant. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, overgrown and/or dead vegetation, accumulation of newspapers, circulars, flyers and/ or mail, past due utility notices and/or disconnected utilities, accumulation of trash, junk, and/or debris, broken or boarded up windows, abandoned vehicles, auto parts or materials, the absence of window coverings, such as curtains, blinds, and/or shutters, the absence of furnishings and/or personal items consistent with habitation or occupation, current owner’s interest in the property has been foreclosed, statements by neighbors, passersby, delivery agents or governmental employees that the property is vacant.

how that is all going to work and we want to do it cooperatively in the safest way possible.”

According to Woodward, SMART is in the process of undertaking a full inventory of bus stops.

“We set money aside in every year’s millage to be used for infrastructure, working with local communities,” he said. “In some cases, that might be doing some sidewalk improvements. … You’re not going to have a covered bus stop at every (location).

That doesn’t make sense, but that is part of the expansion. But I think it’s also important to look back (at) where we already had service and improve the rider experience there as well.”

Woodward said that he expects to see more bus stops by the fall, with SMART responsible for building them.

He indicated that it is still too early to know the statistics for public transportation ridership since the millage passed.

“Give me six more months, because we’re going to be able to go to more places, because providers of these services are extending their hours — more rides are going to be made available, because the capacity’s there to deliver more rides,” Woodward said.

Woodward shared another of his as-

Vacant property also , includes abandoned property , or vacant/ property and means an improved lot or parcel of real property with at least one (1) building or structure that: 1) is not currently occupied if a residential structure, or not currently being used for commercial operations if a commercial structure; or 2) shows evidence of vacancy and the owner fails to provide satisfactory evidence to the city substantiating that the building or structure is occupied if a residential structure, or is being used for commercial operations if a commercial structure, after notice thereby by the city, within a period of ten (10) days after the date of the notice. … Provided, however, a building or structure which remains furnished, utilities connected or in use, and the property maintained while the owner is absent supported by a driver’s license showing proof of residency (business license for commercial) and an affidavit indicating justifiable reason for a temporary vacancy approved by the Building Official, shall not be considered vacant. Also, vacant property shall not include any property, building, or structure owned by the city or the Southfield Non-Profit Housing Corporation, or any entity created or established by either the city or the Southfield Non-Profit Housing Corporation.

pirations for public transit in Oakland County.

“The agencies are aligning their price structure to be the same, because we want to move, in the end, to a seamless transit experience,” he said. “Hopefully, by the end of this year, we will have a much clearer (understanding) of a singular dispatch platform that all these transit agencies are working on, so that if you or I are going to use a transit service, it’s a seamless experience, regardless of who the actual provider of that service is. I just have to get from point A to point B. I don’t care if it’s a SMART bus that gets me there, if it’s a WOTA bus that gets me there or a NOTA bus — I just need to be able to get there reliably, affordably, safely, and all these agencies working together is the way to do it.”

Woodward provided his version of what success would look like.

“More people being able to get more places they want and need to go, and able to do that over more hours of the day,” he said.

“When these smaller providers all collectively agreed to expand service (and) increase days of service, that’s a win for everybody.”

a vacant property and any building or structure situated thereon shall not be occupied until a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the director within thirty (30) days immediately prior to occupancy, and in addition, amended certificate of compliance to a certificate of occupancy and that it shall not be issued until all outstanding costs, assessments, and/or liens owed to the city have been paid in full.

Sec. 8.610.

I’ll put this pattern in there and then wrap the city,” he said. “So it wraps not only in the city of Detroit but now it’s coming into Southfield.

And it went from Lawrence Tech, and now it’s on 11 Mile near Lahser and Evergreen. The whole thing is to bring these communities all together; we’re all tied together in the field of creativity, in the field of art. It just embodies us as one family of different cultures.”

Massey is a Flint native who has lived in Detroit for over 40 years.

“I graduated on Friday and was in Detroit on Monday for work. I’ve been here ever since.”

He is a graduate of Grand Valley State University and studied at the University of London’s Slade Institute of Fine Art, where he realized his passion for art. He got his start doing hand-painted billboards in the ’80s and then shifted towards public art in 1992, when the digital age hit the billboard industry.

For the past 30 years, Massey has created more than 17 monumental pieces within the cities of Detroit, Grand Rapids and his hometown, Flint. He is known for his large-scale murals and is multifaceted, using multiple different mediums, such as frescos, mosaics, sculpture, terrazzo, stained glass and more. One of his most recent pieces includes a 15-foot-high,

1,500-foot-long mural for Stellantis, which is one the largest murals in Michigan.

For Massey, each public art project is different from the last, and he holds community forums at the beginning of each commission to hear the stories and learn more about the culture of the city or area he is creating for.

“I listen to people’s stories about their communities, and I’ll translate those stories

into artwork. I’m interested in trying to celebrate and enhance communities with artwork that really represents that community and the uniqueness of the community. I just want to tell their story,” Massey said.

Mayor Ken Siver stated that he is pleased with the addition of Massey’s artwork in Southfield.

“We’re thrilled to work with an artist of

the caliber of Hubert Massey. He is extremely talented.”

CRIME WATCH Man robbed in hotel parking lot

SOUTHFIELD — Officers were dispatched to a hotel in the 27000 block of Northwestern Highway for a robbery at 12:40 p.m.

June 8.

The manager of the hotel stated that a subject had just been robbed in the parking lot by a suspect in a black Ford van and left eastbound on Northwestern Highway with the victim’s cellphone, wallet and duffel bag.

When the officers arrived on-site, they spoke with the victim, who stated that he had seen a dark-colored, older model Ford minivan with two people inside.

The passenger, dressed in all black with a cloth mask revealing only his eyes, exited the vehicle and approached the victim with a handgun. He demanded the victim’s watch and wallet.

The victim complied and handed the items over. The suspect then grabbed the vic-

tim’s bag, which contained personal items, as well as two cellphones with chargers.

The suspect quickly got back into the vehicle, which fled. The victim did not recognize the suspects but noticed that the vehicle had a Louisiana license plate.

After reviewing the main entrance surveillance camera, police determined that the vehicle was a 1997-2003 black Ford Windstar with both wheels on the passenger side spares that were completely rusted, and the back hatch was dented.

The surveillance footage revealed that the suspect vehicle entered the parking lot at 8:08 a.m. at a slow pace, as if they were scouting the area for someone. The vehicle then sat in a spot until the victim exited the hotel at 12:39 p.m.

The dean contacted the student, interviewed him and confiscated the kitchen knife from him.

The dean stated that this student does not have any prior issues with the school or students, and does not have a record. The student made no threats.

The dean reported that the student was suspended for the rest of the school year, and they will follow up with staff on what actions need to take place going forward. The student’s parents picked him up prior to the officers’ arrival. The knife was turned over to the Southfield Police Department. The investigation is ongoing.

28000 block of Valley Forge received a notification from his Ring doorbell that someone was in his driveway at 2:41 a.m. June 7.

When he opened the Ring app, he saw a suspect in his mother’s vehicle.

He hit the alarm on the Ring doorbell to scare off the victim.

The suspect initially ran south on Valley Forge and then headed westbound across the road and through yards toward Lahser Road.

The reporting party checked the vehicle and noted that nothing was taken. The suspect is described as around 6 feet to 6 feet, 2 inches tall, with a thin build, dressed in a black hoodie with the hood up, a full-face ski mask, medium-wash blue jeans, black tennis shoes with white soles, black gloves and a black crossbody bag.

Theft from page 1A

To prevent your vehicle from being stolen, Huguley emphasized the importance of hardening your target.

He said that if two of the same vehicles are parked next to each other, and one has a steering wheel lock, then the criminal will target the vehicle without the lock.

According to Huguley, it is best to consider the parking situation before moving into an apartment complex.

He explained that it is better to opt for an apartment complex that is either gated or patrolled. If a complex does not include these elements, he advises people to always park in well-lit areas if they do not have a garage. He added that steering wheel locks are effective, and that people should never leave the key to the lock in the vehicle, because criminals will check the glovebox or center console first.

He stated that recent technology utilizing key fobs has allowed criminals to use computers and various techniques to reprogram the fobs in order to gain entry to vehicles. Huguley emphasized that Kia and Hyundai vehicles were particularly susceptible to crimes of this nature.

“There was a discovery by criminals that the steering columns in many Kia models, as well as Hyundai vehicles, that you could use a USB type device, put it in the ignition and start the car. This was a shortcoming on behalf of the manufacturer. What they’ve since

done to rectify the problem is to recall the different models into dealerships and update that portion of the steering column. They’ve also issued out steering wheel locks in the meantime to target harden to make it a little more difficult to take the vehicle, even if the criminal got inside of it.”

The Southfield Police Department responded to this issue by partnering with the Oakland County Sheriff ’s Auto Theft Unit, which includes a collection of detectives from all across Oakland County.

The task force is broken up into two segments, the northern end and the southern end. Southfield has a detective assigned to the task force.

Huguley added that there are a number of detectives assigned to this task force, including ones from Farmington Hills, Hazel Park and many other Oakland County communities. An undercover detective from the task force stated that “auto theft has been a constant problem throughout all the Oakland County communities. With that, we have a lot of investigative techniques that we use. We put trackers on cars, we do followups on suspects and we do a lot of search warrants for records. We’re involved in the prosecution and in trying to prevent the actual crime from happening and giving the community more information and tools to help prevent these types of crimes.”

Huguley said Southfield police are also taking advantage of technology by using license plate readers and using the “PIT maneuver,” which is a precision immobilization technique that officers use to stop the vehicle

if the driver attempts to evade them.

“We utilize the PIT maneuver in a safe fashion to try to immobilize the vehicle before it can become a danger to the motoring public. And we’ve been extremely successful in using that to hold the occupants responsible and take them into custody.”

Additionally, the Southfield Police Department reached out to a spokesperson from Hyundai, who provided them with

120 steering wheel locks to give to the public, free of charge. Huguley stated that some supplies still remain on a first-come, firstserved basis and that anyone interested in picking one up can visit the police station’s front desk.

Huguley stated that the public has been “phenomenal” and a tremendous help to the Police Department when it comes to identifying suspicious vehicles and behavior.
