ROYAL OAK At approximately 1:40 a.m. Dec. 19, a Royal Oak police officer in the area of 14 Mile Road and Coolidge Highway observed a vehicle matching the description of one involved in a carjacking that had occurred earlier in Southfield.
The officer attempted a traffic stop, but the driver fled from the officer at a high rate of speed on westbound 14 Mile, ultimately bailing out of the vehicle a blue 2007 Saab and fleeing on foot.
Sgt. Richard Millard, of the Royal Oak Police Department, said the carjacking had taken place hours earlier and the Royal Oak police officer then matched the stolen vehicle’s license plate with a be-on-the-lookout notice.
Loves Furniture points fingers over financial problems, bankruptcy
In new documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Loves Furniture said warehousing and delivery problems led to bad customer experiences, canceled orders and ultimately the company s financial distress.
Before the company s Jan. 6 Chapter 11 filing, Loves public statements mostly blamed its financial challenges on industry-wide supply disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that left the company s stores with low inventory during a time of high consumer demand.
Loves Furniture is the newly created company that took over many shuttered Art Van Furniture locations last summer in the wake of Art Van s surprise March 2020 liquidation bankruptcy. Loves started off with 34 stores in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania and about 500 employees. It will soon be down to 13 stores, all but one in Michigan.
